Course content
The discipline consists of two content modules. The first one analyzes the regional paleogeography of the Holocene as a scientific discipline, the problems of Holocene periodization, its lower limit, genetic types and lithologic-facies differences of Holocene deposits, field, archival-historical and analytical methods of studying the Holocene.
The second content module examines regional reconstructions of landscapes and their components by stages and micro-stages of the Holocene, different stages of the development of nature in the Holocene, trends of climatic changes in the Holocene, the importance of studying micro-stages for predicting likely natural changes in the future.
