This course will focus on analysing the tectonic structures which arose during the subsequent stages of folders, which also led to the formation of several faults within the various sedimentary rocks. During the course the students will focus on the origin, the appearance of and interpretation of the tectonic structures found within the Świętokrzyskie mountains and the surrounding Mesozoic margin. The curriculum covers problems related to folds, crashes and slides, methods of determining the relative age of formation of individual tectonic structures, and the usefulness of structural analysis in the search for mineral resources and hydrocarbons. Classes are characterized by a practical learning approach, and will begin with a brief theoretical introduction in the form of a lecture. The classes will then continue on site with a project then being undertaken, which will be based on what is covered on the course.
Course scope:
- Genesis and nomenclature of tectonic deformation.
- The terminology of extracurricular and contracting tectonic structures.
- Methodology for determining the relative time of formation of particular tectonic structures.
- Recognizing the spread and the stages of the evolution of tectonic hydrocarbon traps.

This course will look at the typical clastic sediments across the Świętokrzyskie mountains, with the support of microscopic images. Students will look at the variety of clastic sediments across the area and see what evidence they show from the various environments in which they were formed. Students can also begin to understand the environments in which the clastic rocks formed and their variability over time and space. Clastic rocks are abundant in the stratigraphic successions of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains and can be found across the Cambrian through to the Tertiary Periods while both natural and artificial explanations allow for all of the features which make up these environments of deposition to be studied and better understood. The classes will be of a practical nature, which will start with a brief theoretical introduction in the form of a lecture, then will be continued both on site and back at the ECEG centre, with the help of hand specimens taken from the outcrops seen.
Course scope:
Environment of land sedimentation:
- Alluvial cones - Perm, Red Mountain;
- river - the lower jura and trias - Łopuszno and klm. digging;

Course participants will improve their knowledge of carbonate sedimentation environments, have the ability to classify carbonates, interpret micro and macrostructures found within the carbonates and learn to recognize and observe fossils within them. The final result will be the ability to determine the sedimentation environment and design of facade schemes based on microscopic observations, which is particularly useful when observing small rock samples, such as when during drilling beneath the quaternary cover. 30% percent of the classes will be carried out in the form of lectures, while the remaining 70% will take the form of microscope classes which will involve the usage of thin sections, polished macro specimens and subsequent reading materials.
Course scope:
Lecture:
- contempory carbonate sedimentation environments;
- Facial schematics of contemporary and fossil carbonate platforms;
- coastal and semi-coastal environments;
- reefs in geological history;
- deep-water carbonates;
- dolomitization processes.
Practical part:
- identification of fossils and biogenic granules in thin plates;
- recognition and classification of seeds of inorganic origin;
- recognition and interpretation of cements;
- classification of limestone and determination of their sedimentation environment;
- constructing facade schemes.

Course participants will gain a basic knowledge of clastic sedimentation environments, while gaining the ability to classify clastic rocks, interpret sedimentary structures, describe textural features, analyse transport lengths, and identify potential sources of clastic material. One of the most important skills in geology is the interpretation of sedimentation environments based on the structural variation of sediments and the recording of sedimentary structures. The final result of this class will be the ability to determine the sedimentation environment and the design of facade schemes, analyse the convenient migration routes within the deposition system and to analyse reservoir properties resulting from the features of the original sedimentary environment. Classes will consist of 50% lectures and 50% practical microscope classes with the usage of thin sections and polished hand specimens.
Course scope:
Lecture:
- Contemporary clastic sedimentary environments.
- Textural and petrographic maturity of clustered rocks; analysis of source areas.

Practical part:
- Macroscopic recognition and description of clastic rocks.
- Recognition and description of sedimentation structures, interpretation of sedimentary environments and their consequences in fossil record.
- Microscopic description of textural features of clastic rocks, analysis of texture and petrographic maturity; analysis of source areas.
- Recognizing and interpreting interiors, compaction, cements.
- An integrated interpretation of sedimentation environments (participants in groups of 3 to 4 persons) receive geological data sets (profiles, lithologies, sedimentation structures, textural and petrographic data) that analyse and interpret the variation of sedimentary environments in time and space.
