Anotace

Course brings the elementary overview of the quaternary period, which is the rapidly evolving multidisciplinary subject amongst the Earth sciences. Subject studies and explains particular processes in the quaternary period, geologic, geomorphologic and climatic oscillations and their influences upon the natural environment. Closer focus is on the practical application of skills in GIS and environmental models. Subject endeavors to synthesize particular knowledges from the field of geology, paleoclimatology, geomorphology, biology and geoarcheology.
