ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	Basics of Geological Mapping.
Short description:	Lecture presents how to recognize geology on the basis of aerial photos and satellite imagery. Tutorial provides practical skills in geological interpretation of both types of imagery.
Full description:	Theoretical basics of geological Remote Sensing – aerial photos, satellite imagery and radar data interpretation. Geological interpretation of DEMs. Practice of classical methods of geological interpretation of aerial photos, especially of areas without Quaternary cover. Simple photogrammetric measurements (scale of photo, distances, relative attitudes). Geological interpretation of satellite imagery, aerial SAR, and DEMs.
