Full-time form

1. Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of regional and global geology 2. Be able to analyze current ideas about earth evolution in time and space

Aim of the discipline – to introduce students with general principles and concepts about the Earth as integrated planetary system that consists of different components – lithosphere, core, mantle, hydrosphere and atmosphere. These interconnected components act as a whole system from the point of view of planetary evolution of the Earth in time and space.

Lectures, seminars, independent work of students

For admission to the final grading it is obligatory: 1) to pass two control tests; 2) to prepare three oral reports, which can be presented in the form of presentations and abstracts. The final grading is carried out in the form of written modular test. Final evaluation is in the form of modular test (total score of discipline (maximum 100 grades) is defined as the sum for the systematic work during the semester). Final evaluation is based on the results of the student's work throughout the semester.
