Earth’s crust is the part of planet Earth where human activities take place. The influence of dynamic behaviour of the planet is reflected through the Earth’s crust. Therefore, knowledge on the phenomena in the crust is essential for any activities in our nature space. The bases of being aware of changes are correct measurements and ... Read more
Geotechnological and mining research are closely related to observations of the phenomena in geospace. Measurements are basic for observations, and correct interpretation is highly reflected in the quality of the data obtained. Designing and implementation of measurements represent fundamentals of monitoring in geosciences and geophysical research. While observation methods are different, they have something in ...

Goals: to prepare student for independent development of new basic innovative stages of processes to be able to transfer research results into applications and their commercialisation. PhD study is intended to stimulate new knowledge, therefore the objective of the course is to stimulate learning and to deepen the knowledge based on research and development and to ... Read more
Slags and fluxes are closely related to making new metallic materials, therefore they need to have such metallurgical properties that ensure the undisturbed course of single reactions and processes. Development and properties must be harmonised with sustainable development and environmental protection issues. The main emphasis is given to research and development that allows for upgrading student ... Read more
