Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful completion of the courses "Hydrology of continents", "Dangerous hydrological phenomena". To know the theoretical foundations of general hydrology, land hydrology, oceanology. Possess elementary skills of hydrological and water balance calculations, statistical processing of hydrological series. To have methods of synthesis and analysis of information.
Course content
The goal of the discipline is for students to gain a systematic understanding of the natural and anthropogenic causes of modern global changes in the natural environment, the main factor of which is climate warming, to clarify their dynamics, impact on the natural environment, and to study ways of possible prevention of the consequences of their development in the future. A master hydrologist must have a good understanding of the causes of modern climate changes, the mechanism of their impact on the water environment, and predict the possible consequences of such an impact. The educational discipline is devoted to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of patterns and causes of modern climatic changes; the mechanism of the influence of climatic changes on the aquatic environment; analysis of changes in the main elements of the hydrological regime, which occur under the influence of climatic changes; obtaining ideas about possible trends of further changes in water resources under the influence of climate change. The educational discipline "Global climate changes and their impact on the hydrosphere" is a component of the comprehensive training of specialists of the educational and qualification level "master" of the educational program "Hydrology and integrated management of water resources" specialty 103 "Earth sciences".
