Course content
The educational discipline is aimed at forming an idea of the geochemical landscape as a central concept landscape and geochemical studies; consideration of migration processes in the landscape - content, implementation mechanisms, meaning; studying the characteristics of individual behavior elements in the landscape; mechanisms of functioning of geosystems and formation streams of environmental services; study of the basics of systematics of landscapes in geochemistry; consideration of methodological features of landscape-geochemical research; familiarization with applied aspects of landscape-geochemical research.
