Course content
|
The main aim of this course is to obtain knowledge about tools used in environmental monitoring. Gamaspectrometry, X-ray fluorescence, spectral reflectance, grain size analysis and magnetic susceptibility will be used. Basic techniques of sample acquisition, description and processing will be presented and practiced, as well as interpretation of results. The first stage of this course will be organised in the field, subsequent second stage in the lab and final results processing on the PC.

Learning outcomes
|
The field training focused on regional environmental geology in the area of the Bohemian Massif.
The students should be able to - localize, document and sample contaminated sites - assess the degree of their contamination - suggest possible measures fdor mitigation of the negative impact of the contamination on nature - debate measures to be taken for the conservation of natural preserves
