Short description:	The subject consists of 1 hr. / Wk. During the classes discussed are following issues concerning on: - state and perspectives of development the geophysical research in solving environmental tasks - identifying the origin of pollution and recognition of their impact on environment by geophysical methods, - determination of propagation of petroleum substances, - technical condition of flood levees, - impact on the geological environment of the industrial and municipal sedimentation tank - identifying the geological surface for road construction.
Full description:	The purpose of the course is to familiarize students of the Faculty of Geology with the capabilities of the application of geophysical methods in geological cartography. During the classes discussed are geophysical methods are discussed that allow the identification of: - salinity and groundwater pollution - impact on the geological environment of the industrial and municipal sedimentation tank - determination of propagation of petroleum substances in case of the pipeline leak - impact of landfills on the environment and groundwater - technical condition of flood levees, - geological surface to support the road construction The lecture material is prepared based on the latest results of geophysical research published in scientific magazines.
