Course title:	Climate geology
Name in Polish:	Geologia klimatyczna - konwersatorium
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Geology
Course groups:	(in Polish) Przedmioty sugerowane do wyboru na II i III roku studiów I-go st. na kierunku geologia poszukiwawcza
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 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:	elective courses
Prerequisites (description):	Basic knowledge of in geomorphology and Quaternary geology.
Short description:	Introduction to climate impact on geological processes in different climate zones and sedimentary environments, based on examples including impact of single climate components on functioning of the whole system.
Full description:	Analysis of response of different sedimentary environments (glacial, marine, fluvial, lake, aeolian and weathering) to climate change in local, regional and global scales. Short presentations of participants and the moderator on geologic phenomena, features and processes stimulated by climate change in different climatic zones. It is to be accompanied by general discussion of the participants, focused on approximate validation of impact of individual climate factors on components of the environment and landforms. Particularly important is evaluation of climate change influence on human activity in different ecosystems.

Learning outcomes:	Skill to: - analyze and interpret results of studies of sedimentary sequences to determine climate change during deposition - know processes in different sedimentary environments and estimation of their reaction to climate change - recognize landforms typical for aeolian, glacial, periglacial, fluvial, littoral and mass movements environments to estimate their transformation during climate change - to evaluate impact of climate change on human activity.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Evaluation of skill to present individual points of view and input to discussion on impact of climate phenomena on geological processes and human activity.
Practical placement:	none
