Introduction. Snow. Avalanches.Ice and glaciers. Glacial landscapes. Glacial and proglacial sediments. Glacial depositional bodies. Proglacial and periglacial sediments and environments.
Facies of glacial and periglacial environments. Glaciotectonics. Methods of research and dating. Quaternary stratigraphy. Causes of glaciations.

Learning outcomes:

Achievement of specific knowledge on the subject and competences which are necessary for:
1) Field study of glacigenic, proglacial and periglacial sediments,
2) Thematical mapping,
3) Interpretation of geological relationships in the field,
4) Recognition of ice-induced deformations,
5) Recognition of ice-sculptured topography.
