Course content

The weekly field exercise represents a complete excursion to various locations dealing with individual components of the inanimate nature of the Czech Republic. At individual locations, students will observe the geological and geomorphological conditions of the given locations, they will monitor the soil, or vegetation cover, monitor anthropogenic activity and environmental problems of the given area. The excursion will focus on current problems. As part of the excursion, students will visit, for example, dam reservoirs (hydrology), active quarries (geology, environmental problems), but also areas with completed mining, where their current use can be monitored, wastewater or mine water treatment plants, or waste landfills, incinerators, CHMI workplaces, etc.

Prerequisites

The weekly excursion is organized at the end of the semester, the date is usually published on KGE no later than January of the given year. The excursion lasts five days, when one-day trips from Olomouc are combined, but part of the journey is also carried out by hired bus to places where it is difficult or impossible to reach by public transport. It is necessary to count on co-financing the rented bus (approx. 1000,-) and payment for accommodation (usually 2 - 3 nights).
