P03. Explain the features of the geographical space organization depending on the relief, modern and ancient geomorphogenesis of the territory. P05. Collect, process and analyze information in the field of geographical sciences, in particular to solve problems of geomorphology, palaeogeography and naturally cognitive tourism. P07. Determine the main characteristics, processes, history and composition of the landscape sphere in general and geomorphosystems in particular. P08. Apply models, methods of physics, chemistry, geology, ecology, mathematics, information technology, etc. in the study of processes of relief formation and development, individual objects and processes of the geosphere, for the organization and functioning of naturally cognitive tourism. P09. Analyze the composition and structure of natural- and sociospheres, which are the part of the subject area of geomorphology and naturally cognitive tourism at different spatial and temporal levels.

Course content
The study discipline "Hydrology and Oceanology" is dedicated to the study of the main sections of hydrology - terrestrial hydrology and oceanology; general physical processes in the hydrosphere; interconnectedness and interdependence of the hydrosphere with the atmosphere, lithosphere; water exchange on Earth; the main physical and geographical patterns of the formation, nutrition and regime of water bodies of various types (rivers, lakes, swamps, glaciers, underground waters) and patterns of processes occurring in the World Ocean; information on the water, thermal, ice regime, the formation of the chemical composition of the Earth's waters, the importance of river waters and their use are provided; mineral, energy, and biological resources of the World Ocean, attention is also paid to consideration of such issues as the role of water in the functioning of ecosystems, monitoring of water pollution on land and the World Ocean, methods of studying and researching water bodies on land and the World Ocean, and modern hydroecological problems.
