- PROGRAM(N-GK)
This course is intended in MS programme as a continued system of BS physico-geographical/landscape ecological knowledge and skills applied in professional geography. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 20 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/20, only registered: 0/20 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Applied Geography (programme PřF, N-GK)
- Physical Geography (programme PřF, N-GK)
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course student should be able to understand selected problems of applied research in physical geography. He/she would be able to explain when to apply individual methods in applied research and make reasoned decisions about preconditions that are necessary for proper utilization of methods in question. He/she would be able to make deductions based on acquired knowledge concerning research methods in physical geography. Students will learn, for instance, to propose an ecological network of smaller territory.
