Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The utilization of knowledge and application of natural relations from geochemical behaviour of elements in Earth crust in to the areas influenced by antropgenic activity. Understanding of the principles of risk elements during thermic processes by the waste processing. Identification areas of contamination in surroundings of landfills and old ecological loads with utilization of geochemical models (SURFER).

Summary

Geoecology represents an interdisciplinary scientific discipline that deals with understanding the relationships between man and the environment. It is based on a knowledge of the characteristics of the natural geo-ecosystem that are affected and reshaped by human activity. Geoecology is oriented towards issues: geochemical background, remediation of old ecological burdens, substance balance of important elements and methods of sustained sustainable development. Methods of chemical analysis, geostatistics and modelling are the most frequently used.
