Course objectives:
|
The aim of this course is to provide students with an introduction in the physical geography of the Czech Republic. Different points of view will be applied, namely mutual relations and connections among single components of the landscape. The palaeogeographical development of the CR in the European context is also an essential part of the course.
|
Requirements on student
|
Active participation on seminars, pass the test and the exam.
