Course content
Course is focused on the methods of field geological mapping and mapping of geofactors of the environment (areas with conflicts of interests, preserved localities, hydrogeological phenomena) into the topographical map with 1:10 000 scale. The aim of the course is encompassment of the methods of mapping from fragments and outcrops, documentation of outcrops, field measurement of oriented geological data, determination of petrographic rock types in hand samples, formation of map legend and interpretation of subsurface structure, mapping of hydrogeological phenomena and assembling of geological map and complete graphical and written documentation at the 1:10 000 scale.

Learning outcomes
Course lasting 10 days is focused on the methods of field geological mapping.
The students should be able to: - apply methods of mapping from rock fragments and outcrops, document outcrops, perform field measurement of oriented geological data, map hydrogeological phenomena, and determine petrographic rock types in hand samples - chart the observations and measurements in the 1:10 000 topographical map - form the map legend and interpret subsurface structures, and assemble a geological map with complete graphical and written documentation at the 1:10 000 scale.
Prerequisites
unspecified
KGE/PETRG and KGE/MEGEV
