Course content
The course "Modeling of Geological Processes and Structures" covers modern approaches to analyzing the state of the geological environment and provides a foundation for conducting fundamental analytical research from a systems analysis perspective. This discipline provides knowledge on the principles and methods of creating multiscale models of the geological environment, general issues of stochastic and deterministic modeling in geology, and developing skills in processing geological information using specialized software. It presents general methods for data analysis and spatial modeling in GIS. The course also characterizes the main concepts of the stressed-deformed state of the geological environment and the primary methods for determining it. A quantitative analysis of the factors influencing the stressed-deformed state of natural-technogenic systems is conducted using specialized software modules. Throughout the course, the principles of creating geological information databases and methods for processing this information are discussed.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures and practical sessions, independent work of students.
Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment is carried out using a modular-rating system and includes: completion of 10 practical tasks, and two written modular control tests, evaluated at 60 points. During the practical tasks, students are required to demonstrate the quality of the knowledge acquired and solve the given problems without limitations on tools and techniques. The final evaluation is conducted in the form of a written-oral exam, with a maximum possible score of 40 points (minimum – 24 points).
