Learning outcomes:
Address definitions of Geology of the Territory and internal and external geodynamics exemplified by practical cases, in addition to applying methodologies and tools to identify. Skills: 1. Understanding of internal geodynamic phenomena such as volcanism and earthquakes, besides external ones, such as river dynamics, erosion and sedimentation, landslides and avalanches, and subsidence. 2. Understanding of definitions, theories and practical cases regarding anthropogenic activities using geological resources, the management and conservation of geological resources, and territorial planning using geological resources. 3. Mastery of digital methodologies and technology to identify the importance of the principles and implementation of geoconservation, the valorization and dissemination of geological heritage, the practice of geodiversity, and the sustainable development of the territory. 4. Applications in examples of the theories, in addition to examples of geoconservation in Portugal.
Syllabus:
1. The Geological Cycle Characteristics and concepts of the internal and external geodynamics of the territory. Aspects and evaluation of indicators in scenarios of volcanism, earthquake, river dynamics, erosion and sedimentation, landslides, and avalanches. Presentation of regulations and management models regarding the geology of the territory. 2. The Humanity and Geological Resources Characteristics and concepts of the principles of management and conservation of geological resources, and spatial planning based on geology. 3. The Geoconservation Characteristics and peculiarities of the importance of geoconservation, the valorization and dissemination of geological heritage, the practice of geodiversity, and the sustainable development of the territory.
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria:
Assessment in the curricular unit was designed to ensure that students assimilate and be able to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired throughout of the semester. Rating criteria: 1. Written test (50%) It will allow evaluating whether students assimilated the subjects taught and obtained the defined competencies. The test will have a theoretical and a practical component on the syllabus and exercises developed in a classroom environment. 2. Reports of two practical assignments (50%) Two practical works will be carried out, one on the application of technologies to the geoconservation of geological resources, and the other on the identification of geological heritage. 3. Final classification, CF CF = 0.5xTest + 0.25xTP1Report + 0.25xTP2Report 4. Minimum classification in the test or exam: >7.0 out of 20 points. 5. Minimum rating to pass the curricular unit: > 9.5 out of 20 points.
