Teaching language
PortugueseObjectives
Understand and acquire fundamental knowledge about the Earth system as a dynamic system and its components. Understand the causes and consequences of geodynamical processes with environmental implications, coupled with the concept of vulnerability, in order to be capable of analyze several environmental risks (natural and anthropogenic).
Learning outcomes and competences
It is expected that the students will be able to frame environmental problems in geological contexts in which they occur, establishing systemic and logical interpretations, aiming their prediction/prevention/resolution.

Eligibility for exams
A class presences’ ratio of 75%. This presences’ ratio is necessary to require an Appeal Exam.
Calculation formula of final grade
Components of the Distributed Evaluation: tests + reports.Final grade for the Distributed Evaluation: 60% of the average marks get in tests plus 40% of the average marks get in reports.
Appeal Exam: for students who were not approved in the Distributed Evaluation or to improve a final grade of a positive evaluation.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Accordingly with FEUP General Rules.
