Course objectives
Siliceous weathering products originated during geological history by weathering of different rocks of Bohemian massif. Represent important indicators of paleogeographic and paleoclimatic changes. The course is devoted to students of sedimentary geology, mineralogy. The main goal is followed: to present to students the problems and methodology of the investigation of siliceous weathering products.
Syllabus
