            Course content
        
        
            The range of theoretical and applied problems developed by modern landscape science is highlighted, as well as the content and approaches of its individual directions - scientific (geophysics, geochemistry, landscape aesthetics, cultural, historical, anthropogenic landscape science, etc.) and applied (landscape substantiation of territorial planning, nature management projects) , environmental expertise and audit, environmental management, etc.). Features of the state, structure, dynamics, and evolution of landscape complexes formed on the earth's surface, both natural and anthropogenic, their main properties, processes occurring in them, etc., as well as methods and techniques of modern landscape studies are considered.
