ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	3.00 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.
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Short description:	Courses presenting modern methods of reconstruction of tectonic and neotectonic processes based on geomorphological analysis of topographical maps, satellite imagery, and elevation data (DEM).
Full description:	Course presents contemporary methods of reconstruction of tectonic and neotectonic processes based on geomorphological analysis. Students will learn about the types of tectonic structures and their reflection in geomorphology, about restoration of tectonic processes and other processes shaping land surface, with particular emphasis on the evolution of orogenic areas. During the course methods for estimating the displacement along the faults based on the analysis of drainage networks and fault scarps will be presented, also methods of defining the components of displacement along faults. Geological software for analysis of tectonic structures will be used.

Learning outcomes:	After completing a series of lectures student identifies and interprets relations between tectonic structures and surface morphology. According to principles of relief development student can draw geomorphological and tectonic conclusions from surface analysis.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Lectures are evaluated on the basis of the written test that cover all the issues presented in lectures (80%) also on the basis of continuous evaluation of students progress and his/her active participation in lectures (20%).
