Course objectives:
|
The aim of this course is to familiarize students with significant issues of current geographical research and origin, development and present-day status of a geospatial revolution. Students will learn examples of up-to-date methods (and methodological processes) of geographical research. Intersections of Geography with other natural sciences will be demonstrated on global (natural as well as anthropogenic) issues. Significance of geographical topics for teaching and education of natural science will be presented.

Content
|
1. Naturesciences and geography-mutual relations in the past and present;
2. Geographical tools and methods, its application in natural sciences (geospatial revolution and its response in science and everyday life);
3. Application of modern geographical research tools and methods in multidisciplinary research of climate dynamics and environmental changes during the Pleistocene, Holocene and present;
4. Retreat of glaciers (educational potential of the topic) - spatio-temporal changes in area and volume of glaciation, cause and effect of deglaciation;
5. Permafrost degradation (educational potential of the topic) - extent of the permafrost, effect of climate changes, effect of degradation on ecosystems and human society;
6. Sea level changes (educational potential of the topic) - evidence of past sea level changes, prognosis, cause and effect;
7. Changes and acceleration of catastrophic events (educational potential of the topic) - natural hazards, human impact;
8. Natural resources (educational potential of the topic) -classification of natural resources, basic principles of sustainable use of natural resources;
9. New species and disease spread (educational potential of the topic) - introduced and invasive plant and animal species, ecological effect; major world pandemic, causes and effect of disease spread in global world, socio-economic effects;
10. Human migration (educational potential of the topic) - causes and effects, motivation factors, global dimension of world migration (main migration routes and destination countries), Czech Republic and its relation to international migration;
11. Human population growth (educational potential of the topic) - historical trend in human population, projection of population growth, problems linked with rapid population growth in some world regions;
