1. Successfully master the following academic disciplines: "Introduction to University Studies," "Fundamentals of Fundamental and Applied Geoecology," "General Geology," "Meteorology," "Hydrology," "Topography and Fundamentals of Geodesy," "Geomorphology," "Soil Science," "Biogeography," and "Fundamentals of GIS."

The academic discipline "Methods of Geo-ecological Research" aims to equip higher education students with systematic knowledge regarding the theoretical and methodological foundations and modern methods of conducting geo-ecological research in natural and anthropogenically transformed geosystems. The course explores the essence of geo-ecology as an integrative scientific field that combines approaches from physical geography, ecology, landscape science, geoinformatics, and nature management. The course covers general scientific, discipline-specific, and specialized methods of geo-ecological research, examining their classification, capabilities, and limitations across various levels of geosystem analysis. Particular attention is paid to the methodological principles of comprehensive geo-ecological research, the distinctions between the concepts of "method," "technique," and "methodology," and the role of scientific methods in generating reliable results regarding the state of the environment. The discipline is structured into two content modules. The first module covers the theoretical and methodological foundations of geo-ecological research and the fundamental methods used to conduct it. It examines the objects and subject matter of geo-ecological research, the general system of methods for comprehensive geo-ecological studies, methods classified by level of generalization, as well as aerospace, empirical, stationary, and semi-stationary research methods. A dedicated section covers methods for modeling and investigating territorial structures in geoecology, the systems-structural approach, model types, and their application to analyzing geosystems at various levels of organization. The second module focuses on specialized, evaluative, applied, and predictive methods in geoecological
