Be able to conduct field and laboratory studies of processes in the atmosphere and other geospheres (PLO05). To be able to perform research atmosphere and other geospheres using quantitative methods of analysis (PLO09). Analyze the composition and structure of the atmosphere and other geospheres in different spatial and temporal scales (ELO10). Know and apply theories, paradigms, concepts and principles in Earth sciences as appropriate to the specialization (PLO 12). Be able to choose the best methods and tools for conducting research, collecting and data collection and processing (PLO 15). To know the laws of occurrence and development of atmospheric processes and phenomena; be able to to identify, predict, model atmospheric processes and phenomena (PLO 16).

Full-time form

1. Successful completion of courses in "Meteorology", "General Chemistry", "General Atmospheric Circulation", "Ecological Climatology". 2. Knowledge of theoretical foundations of chemistry, physics, physical geography, ability to establish cause and effect relationships between phenomena and processes occurring in the natural environment. 3. Knowledge of methods of synthesis and analysis of information.

The discipline is devoted to the study of the Earth's atmosphere. The course consists of four content modules. Within the first module the features of modern global changes are considered, especially climate change, the main groups of natural and anthropogenic components of the chemical composition of the atmosphere, sources of chemicals in the atmosphere. The second module considers the processes of transformation of chemicals in the troposphere and stratosphere, the main environmental problems and threats to humanity are analyzed in detail, that may arise in this process. In the study of this module are actively used the results of the latest scientific research obtained by the international scientific community and available in English community and are available in English-language scientific publications. The third module considers the features of the formation of the chemical composition of the stratosphere with an emphasis on the mechanisms of formation and destruction of ozone, its climatic effect. In the fourth module the climatic effects of atmospheric aerosol are considered, greenhouse effect, some other global environmental problems associated with pollution of the atmosphere.
