1.Aim of the discipline is to familiarize students with the main principles and methods of tectonic analyses in geomorphology, interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales, innovative applications of new techniques for determining the ages of landscape features, for assessing the mechanisms and rates of geomorphic processes, and for defining rates of crustal movement.

2.Discipline requirements:

Students must have skills and knowledge related to structural Geology, Geomorphology, Quaternary Geology and GIS analysis, they have to be familiar with basic geomorphological and structural concepts and terms.

3.Annotation of teaching discipline / reference: Modern tectonic geomorphology is an exceptionally integrative discipline that utilizes techniques and data derived from studies of geomorphology, seismology, geochronology, structure, geodesy, stratigraphy, meteorology and Quaternary science. Tectonic analysis in geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions of years. The consideration is given to recent advances in the quantification of both rates and the physical basis of tectonic and surface processes. This discipline reviews the fundamentals of the subject, including the nature of faulting and folding, the creation and use geomorphic markers for tracing deformation, chronological techniques that are used to date events and quantify rates, geodetic techniques for defining recent deformation, and paleoseismologic approaches to calibrate past deformation. Tectonic geomorphology focuses on the current understanding of the dynamic interplay between surface processes and active tectonics. As it ranges from the timescales of individual earthquakes to the growth and decay of mountain belts, this course provides a timely synthesis of modern research for students and for practicing geologists. 4.Object (teaching purposes) – introduction of students with:

1) main types of geomorphic processes; 2) main methods of tectonic geomorphology; 3) geomorphology of folded terrain 4) geomorphology of fractured terrain; 5) methods of quantitative tectonic geomorphology; 6) geomorphic markers; 7) quantitative definition of tectonic landforms; 8) specialized software for modeling tectonic and geomorphic processes and structures. 9) Interpretation of modelling results.

7.Scheme of grading forms:

7.1.Grading forms

1. Semester grading: 1) Test on Methods of dating geomorphic features - 10 points (cross-border score of 6 points) 2) Test on Principles and Methods of quantitative tectonic geomorphology - 10 points (passing grade is 6 points) 3) Grading for work at practical classes - 40 points (passing grade is 24 points) 2. Final examination in the form of the written test: maximum grade is 40 points, passing grade is 24 points. Results of educational activity of students grading are based on 100 grading scale.

The final grade is based on the results as the sum for the module grades, practical classes grades and the results of the Exam.

Semester grade Exam Final grade I

Module 1 Module 2 10 10 Practical classes Practical classes 20 20 Total Minimum 18 18 24 60 Maximum 30 30 40 100

A student is not allowed to pass a Exam if he graded less than 20 points during two semesters.

7.2.Grading: Control is carried out according to the modular rating system and provides for: passing of 5 practical classes (where students must demonstrate the quality of the acquired knowledge and solve the tasks set using the methods outlined by the teacher) and passed 2 written tests. The final grading is carried out in the form of a written Exam.
