1.Aim of the discipline is to familiarize students with conditions and composition of current sediments and bedrocks of the seas and the oceans floor, composition and structure of the oceanic earth’s crust, nature of various physical and geological processes, formation and distribution of mineral resources within the oceans.

2.Discipline requirements:

Students must have skills and knowledge related to such subjects as "General Geology", "Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology", "Geotectonics".

3.Annotation of teaching discipline / reference: The course “Advanced marine geology” analyzes the main range of problem of the current marine geology which must be learned on the master's first-year and will be provided the basis for the successful progress in acquiring geological knowledge. The discipline “Advance marine geology” strives to increase understanding of the features of relief structure and different marine sediments which will be very important at the decision of problems such as neotectonics, stratigraphy, regional geology, paleontology, micropaleontology and GIS technologies. 4.The main tasks of discipline are:

1) in-depth study of conditions and features of the depositional settings, especially the processes of arrival of detrital material, floating biogenic and volcanogenic materials, their deposition when interacting with hydrodynamics, hydrochemicals and ecological factors;

2) the study of the sediments formation in specific conditions; 3) the study of the early diagenetic stages of sedimentation; 4) the study of combination of the physical and geological processes that occur on the ocean floor; 5) the geotechnical survey, prospect-level survey and exploration of the different types of marine

mineral deposits; 6) the geological-economic evaluation of the marine mineral deposits.

5.Learning results:

Learning results (1. to know; 2. be able to; 3. communication; 4. autonomy and responsibility)

7.Scheme of grading forms:

7.1.Grading forms

1. Semester grading: 1) Marine geological survey methods. The main features of the earth’s crust structure, major features of ocean bottom relief and sedimentation processes - 10 points (cross-border score of 6 points) 2) The mineral resources of the oceans - 10 points (passing grade is 6 points) 3) Grading for work at practical classes - 40 points (passing grade is 24 points) 2. Final examination in the form of the written test: maximum grade is 40 points, passing grade is 24 points. Results of educational activity of students grading are based on 100 grading scale.

The final grade is based on the results as the sum for the module grades, practical classes grades and the results of the Exam.

Semester grade Exam Final grade I

Module 1 Module 2 10 10 Practical

classes Practical classes

20 20 Total Minimum 18 18 24 60 Maximum 30 30 40 100

A student is not allowed to pass a Exam if he graded less than 20 points during two semesters.

7.2.Grading: Control is carried out according to the modular rating system and provides for: passing of 5 practical classes (where students must demonstrate the quality of the acquired knowledge and solve the tasks set using the methods outlined by the teacher); passing of 6 individual practical classes (where students should demonstrate the quality of the acquired knowledge) and to solve the tasks without limiting the tools and techniques of solving the problem) and passed 2 written tests. The final

grading is carried out in the form of a written Exam.

7.3.Scale of Exam

National scale 100 points scale

Excellent 90 – 100

Good 75 – 89

Satisfactorily 60 – 74

Failed 0 – 59
