Course content
This academic discipline
dedicated to the study of general features of the functioning of geoecosystems, which
are influenced by economic and other human activities, their causes
emergence, principles and modern methods used in geoecology
research, as well as the formation of skills and abilities to solve current ones
of geoecological problems in the plane of the subject area of knowledge of natural science
geography The discipline "Land cover system of the world" is aimed at
deepening of theoretical geoecological knowledge, formation of students
accumulation of special professional, social and personal competencies
knowledge about the possibility of critical thinking, analysis and synthesis, ability
4
ability to search, process and analyze information from various sources
identify, formulate and solve problems in the field of natural geography
and geoecology.
Separate components of the discipline are the study of principles and methods
systematization of the world's land covers; management methods
environmental protection processes in geosystems of different hierarchical levels;
principles of rational use and protection of components of geoecosystems from
the influence of adverse anthropogenic and technogenic factors; methods
carrying out an operational synthesis of reliable information about the relevant classes
geosystems and their parametric characteristics.
The functional block of the discipline involves mastering the following
components, such as the ability to apply basic knowledge of natural sciences and
information technologies in project planning activities, ability
apply quantitative and qualitative methods of geoecosystem research, ability
independently research, analyze spatio-temporal changes of geoecosystems for
goals of rational nature management and nature protection.
