Introducing students to the basics of the protection and shaping of the earth's surface Soil as a component of the natural environment and as a matter of matter subject to engineering activities; definition of the the influence of the physical, chemical and physico-chemical properties of soils on their functionality together with the possibilities of regulation; showing the actions environmental engineer's actions that can be taken in the field of shaping the of the earth's surface.
Lectures:
Basic soil science concepts. Soil in terms of nature, engineering and technology. Soil functions. Soil-forming factors. Soil formation processes. Three-phase soil system. Physical, chemical and physical-chemical properties of soils. Biological changes in soils. Polish soil classifications and their importance for the engineering survey of the area. Anthropogenic soil transformation - causes and effects of soil degradation. Basics of soil protection - soil purity in the light of regulations and standards, limit numbers, choice of the direction and goals of reclamation, methods of preventing environmental degradation. Principles of selection of degraded land reclamation methods. Principles and groups of techniques for detoxification of contaminated soils.
Laboratory:
Soil profile. Basic methods of field determination of soil material. Preparation of soil extracts. Determination of basic physical and chemical properties. Colorimetry in soil analysis. ICP in soil analysis. Soil maps. Assessment of the condition of soils based on the results of laboratory analyzes.
Project:
Reclamation project for a degraded area, including the characteristics of the area, soil condition assessment and a schedule of reclamation activities, work measurements and a shortened cost estimate.
In order to receive credit for the course, all forms of conducted classes must be passed with a positive mark.
Laboratory: credit on the basis of: presentation of results and reports in laboratory classes - class reports are subject to assessment, the report from the field classes - the report from the classes is subject to assessment.
Project: credit on the basis of: execution of the project on the protection of soils from degradation factors - graded.
Lecture: the condition to take the exam is passing 100% of the laboratory classes, field classes and project work. Final exam - in a written form; includes 20 closed questions (max. 20 points) and 2 open questions (max. 30 points). The final grade is the result of a comparison of the number of points obtained by the student with the table: 5.0 - 45-50 points / 4.5 - 40-44 points / 4.0 - 35-39 points / 3.5 - 34-30 points / 3.0 - 25-29 points / 2.0 - less than 25 points.
In accordance with the Academic Regulations, attendance at classes is compulsory. The final course grade includes 50% of the exam grade, 30% of the laboratory grade and 20% of the project grade.
The weighted average is rounded to two decimal places. The final grade is determined on the basis of the weighted average according to the following rule: below 3.24 - sufficient, from 3.25 to 3.74 - sufficient plus, from 3.75 to 4.24 - good, from 4.25 to 4.74 - good plus, from 4.75 - very good.
