Course content
Practical field exercises, focused on the presentation of the basic phenomena of exogenous and endogenous dynamics. Students will learn primary documentation of profiles or outcrops, including measurement of structural elements, terrain description of rocks, drawing of rock bodies and structures into topographic map (both digital and printed form). The course consists of four days of field data collection. The last day students process the acquired data into a presentation form (final report).

Learning activities and teaching methods
Demonstration

The students should be able to: - demonstrate basic phenomena of exogenic and endogenic processes - elaborate basic documentation of a profile or outcrop, in cluding structrural-geological measurements
Prerequisites
unspecified
