Mining Geology and Geological Prospection

Geological research, exploration and extraction of mineral resources, as well as the quality of the environment are an integral part of the development of every company. Rational mining significantly affects not only economic development, but also the environmental balance of our planet. The content of the study program of the 3rd degree Mining Geology and Geological Survey synergistically connects the final efforts of geoscience departments to search for, value and effectively use mineral and energy raw materials, as well as to actively work in the protection and evaluation of the abiotic area of the environment. PhD graduates of the presented study program have irreplaceable employment in geoscience departments of universities, in research, design and implementation institutions dealing with the search, forecasting and rational use of all kinds of mineral and energy raw materials and geoscientific solutions for the stability of underground geotechnical and tunnel constructions. They will be able to participate in decision-making processes in matters of effective use of land resources and integrated environmental protection at all levels of state and public administration. Graduates will also be employed in areas dealing with geoenvironmental disciplines at both research and application levels.

Graduates III. degree in the field of study Mining Geology and Geological Survey master the scientific methods of geological research and exploration in the field of search, evaluation and economically and environmentally efficient exploitation of deposits of mineral energy resources. They master and know how to apply in practice the latest research trends in the broad field of engineering geology, hydrogeology, environmental geology with the aim of sustainable development of the environment. By acquiring special knowledge of geodynamics, structural geology, tectogenesis, sedimentology, geostatistics and modeling of mineral deposits and potential risks of geotechnical interventions in the landscape, they will be able to propose solutions, conceive alternative approaches to solving problems, accurately reevaluate the professional and economic potential of alternative approaches and justify the optimal an alternative. They have the latest knowledge in the field of the search for mineral and energy resources, starting from the methodology of geological exploration, which will be proposed with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach based on the knowledge gained through the study, through the design of methods for effective extraction of mineral resources, evaluation of the risk of environmental threats and its maximum reduction, and up to the rehabilitation of the environment after the end of mining. The graduate will create, use and participate in acquiring new theoretical knowledge related to the scope of his study work. He will use these theoretical knowledge for the interpretation and analysis of synthesized views on the results of geological research and exploration.
