• Field course - 108 hours

Course of Geological Mapping covers field practice of geological survey and superficial geological mapping. Students work in 2-persons teams, grouped in 8-persons groups, each with its own assistant. Course is passed as a grade from team’s geological survey and its defence in the field.

Lecture presents basics of geological mapping, mainly methodology of geological survey. Methods of positioning and documentation of geological outcrops are presented, especially connected with superficial mapping. Basics of subsurface mapping and geological interpretation of aerial and satellite imagery are presented too.

Lecture presents the major concepts of the common geology and geomorphology. The issues regarding relations between landscape and geology of Poland are especially emphasized.

Winter semester 2023/24

• Lecture - 30 hours

A one semester lecture combined with classes is aimed to present the geological history of the Earth, including the history of the planet and of the life on it. A systematic description of the Earth's history is preceded by an introduction focused on the methods of dating the rocks and processes and on stratigraphical classifications. Phanerozoic history of the Earth is interpreted in terms of processes governed by plate tectonics and presents changes of worlds palaeogeography, facies provinces, major tectonic events and evolution of sedimentary basins. Development of continents is illustrated mainly on examples from Europe and North America. Presentation of the history of life embraces main stages of evolution, biological expansion, radiations and crisis, and their relation to palaeogeographical changes and the physical evolution of the planet is discussed.

(in Polish) Zajęcia obejmują zagadnienia z krystalografii i mineralogii oraz optyki kryształów. Studenci zapoznają się z podstawowymi prawami krystalograficznymi, typami sieci przestrzennej kryształów i układami krystalograficznymi. Omówione są przykładowe klasy krystalograficzne z podaniem niektórych substancji, krystalizujących w tych klasach. W ramach problematyki mineralogicznej omawiane jest miejsce mineralogii wśród nauk przyrodniczych, jej powiązania z naukami technicznymi, cechy minerałów i wybrane sposoby ich opisu. Przedstawiane są zasady systematyki minerałów wraz ze środowiskami występowania i zastosowaniami w innych dziedzinach. Studenci poznają wygląd kryształów pod mikroskopem w specjalnych preparatach i zasady identyfikacji mikroskopowej kryształów. Zajęcia wiążą się z petrografią, chemią i technologią chemiczną, krystalochemią, materiałami budowlanymi, surowcami ceramicznymi i metalurgicznymi, ochroną środowiska, gleboznawstwem, archeologią, muzealnictwem.

• Classes - 30 hours

Sedimentology is the study of the formation of sedimentary rocks, deals both with the processes of transport and deposition of sediments, study of modern sedimentary environments, as well as reconstruction of the fossil record of these environments. Subject is a continuation of Physical Geology, introduces new concepts and expanding knowledge of the exogenous processes. Great emphasis is placed on the physical, physico-chemical and biological basis of sedimentary processes. It presents the modern sedimentary environments and based on the principle of uniformitarism teaches rules of the geological reconstruction of paleoenvironments. Provides the basis for the further courses of geological education, especially in the Sedimentary Basin Analysis, Mineral Deposits Geology, Historical Geology and Regional Geology.

Summer semester 2023/24

• Classes - 45 hours
• Lecture - 30 hours

Fundamentals of soil behaviour is devoted to studies of soil properties and their fluctuations resulting from various factors, such as grain size and mineral composition, chemistry of pore water, type of gas trapped in the pore space, physico-chemical, magnetic, electric, thermal, and capillary properties, as well as structure and texture.

The course discusses the theoretical fundamentals of physico-chemical phenomena taking place on the surface of the soil skeleton. These facts significantly influence the variability of physical and mechanical properties in various types of soils differing in origin, lithology and post-sedimentation transformations.

Winter semester 2023/24

• Lecture - 30 hours

Tectonics is a field of science respecting deformation resulting from the strain of rocks in response to stress. Knowledge acquired in the course allows students to describe, identify, and classify of strain and reconstruct of stress. This is a form of preparing to course of geological mapping and individual fieldwork.
