Short description:	Sources and technological conditions of anthropogenic soil formation. Classification and overview of the chemical, biochemical, physical and mechanical properties of soils. Impact of anthropogenic soils on the environment. Mapping areas with anthropogenic soils. Properties of anthropogenic soils as material accumulated in landfills and construction material. Research methods of anthropogenic soils in relation to soil types and technology of their formation (flushing, dumping). Shaping soil properties by flushing, soil exchange, macrolevelling, prospection and exploitation drillings.
Full description:	1. Types of anthropogenic soils, terminology, classifications, legal regulations. 2. Characteristics of anthropogenic soils produced in different branches of the national economy, areas of their occurrence. 3. State and trends of anthropogenic soils use in Poland and abroad. 4. Storage of anthropogenic soils and shaping of their properties in the storage process: • dumping; • embankments; • exchange of soils and macrolevellings; • flushing. 5. Oversurface, undersurface and mixed dumping, technologies of dumping, impact on the natural environment. 6. Engineering-geological and hydrogeological problems of placement, site selection, basement assessment, slope stability, displacement, protection measures, methods of embankment formation, compaction, methods of assessing embankment formation, test embankments. 7. Deposits. Characteristics of deposits and flushing process, construction of landfills with wet flushing technologies. Engineering-geological and hydrogeological issues of location selection, basement assessment, embankment stability, water relations, drainage. 8. Research methodology of the physical-mechanical properties in anthropogenic soils according to their origin: • Field research; • laboratory tests; • model tests. 9. Geological mapping of anthropogenic soils, their distinguishing, methods of presentation on maps and cross-sections.

Learning outcomes:	On completion of the course, the student: - identifies and describes anthropogenic soils; - has knowledge on soil origin, which helps to define the methodology for the determination of soil properties, analyze the application and usability of anthropogenic soils, including its storage, and develop measures to limit the negative environmental impact of anthropogenic soils.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Students are assessed based on individual work on reports and experiments. A final written assessment is planned at the end of the classes. After successful completion of the classes, the students are allowed to pass the course. Completion of the course is in the form of a final written examination encompassing the knowledge presented during the classes and lectures.
