Be ready for a physically harder work in terrain. - 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
- Geography (programme PřF, B-GK, specialization Physical Geography)
- Course objectives
- Field course is primarily devoted to practice and apply the knowledge gained within the courses of Geomorphology, Pedogeography and Biogeography which precede the field course.
Main objectives can be summarized as follows:
to learn how to do recognoscation of the landscape;
to learn geomorphological and pedological mapping techniques;
to learn fytocenological relevé and analytical or complex vegetational maps elaboration;
to understand specifics of the region in task. - Syllabus
- Terrain course contains following working steps:
- 1. Analysis of topographical maps, terrain digital model 5G and aerial images of the territory in study. Presentation basic territory features with help of students with prepared referates about specific components of the landscape.
- 2. Visual delimitation of elementary geoforms in the topographic map, digital model 5G.
- 3. Validation of delimited geoforms in the field, geomorphological mapping, alternativelly learnig to use geophysical methods in identification of soil substrate character.
- 4. Excavation and description of soil profiles in various georelief types, identification of the soil type and probable granulometry.
- 5. Eleborating of a simple fytocenological relevé.
- Mapping of actual vegetation (biotops) and some plant species distribution of selected territory.
- 6. Compilation of geoecological profile along the slope with outlining biogeographical and pedological findings.
- 7. Compilation of the final draft of maps and profiles.
- Detailed programme depends on the locality and the weather.

- Teaching methods
- The lectures will present the Landscape recognoscation and objects, that will be mapped by the students. The students do their own terrain mapping into maps and elaborate notes on the mapped objects and photographic documentation. In the end students elaborate final maps, profiles and final report.
- Assessment methods
- Students submit the final drafts of geoecological maps and profiles attached with the final report and notes from the field excursions. The necessary presumption for gaining the credit is an adequate activity during the field work.
