Prerequisites and co-requisites
Availability of the minimum grade (60 points on a 100 scale) for the disciplines "General Geology", "Topography", "Structural Geology and Geographic Mapping", "Quaternary Geology with Fundamentals of Geomorphology", "Fundamentals of Petrography", "Fundamentals of Lithology", "Geoinformatics" or "Geoinformation technologies", "Comprehensive practice in geological surveying".
Course content
The main purpose of geological mapping is to create a consistent, logical model of the structure and development of the research area. The quality and reliability of such a model, in addition to the fundamental training of geologists, is determined by a set of research methods, processing and visualization of their results. The discipline is taught in the following logical sequence: general requirements for studying the geological environment for mapping → requirements for geological surveys and research methods of different genesis of geological bodies and structures → methods of processing and spatial analysis of heterogeneous geological information using specialized software.
