Course content
The educational discipline is dedicated to the study of: concepts of models and modeling and their classification; foundations of stochastic state modeling and forecasting of the dynamics of natural geosystems; basics of geoecological model zoning; approaches to the implementation of methodical-optimization and methodical-applied and model-prognostic solutions, as well as methods of thematic modeling of typical natural geosystems, in particular basin geosystems, eco-networks and coastal geotones. The discipline is designed to form students' strategic ideas about methods of modern model-prognostic display of processes and phenomena and the state of objects in natural geography.
