Speleology-selected topics

Although it may seem that the speleology is very narrow science, detailed study shows that it includes wide areas from different sciences as geology, hydrology, geomorphology, biology, archeology etc. In the course Selected chapters of speleology the student will fully recognize the defined area, which will be selected together with professor. The emphasis will be on the themes as selected cave systems and their characteristics, the processes of karst cave formation, time span of the karst cave formation, initial conditions of cave formation, the study of principal reference books on speleology and comparison between them, the development of speleology till today and important milestones in speleology.

• Introduction about the literature on speleology
• Cave systems and their characteristics
• The processes of formation of karst caves
• Time span of the formation of karst caves
• Initial conditions of formation of caves
• The study of principal reference books on speleology and comparison between them
• Development of speleology till today and important milestones in speleology

The student is aware of speleology bases. By agreement with the lecturer responsible for the course the student deepens the knowledge from selected speleology field. The student is primarily aware of processes of the formation of cave systems, with time-span period of formation and initial conditions for formation of karst systems. At the same time student gains good basis of speleology reference books and autonomous knowledge about defined literature and about development of speleology.

Exam is oral or written and includes whole content of the course. The exam’s aim is that student’s knowledge that is gained at course is evaluated, as well as student’s capacity of understanding, articulation and presentation of gained knowledge. Conditions for taking the exam are at least 50 % of the student’s presence at seminars and shorter written product (5-10 pages), which represents student’s work related to selected subject about influence of active tectonics on karstification or represents determined source, which is connected to student’s seminar work or doctoral thesis. 50/50.
