“PALEONTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY”
ANNOTATION
| The doctoral programme encompasses a wide range of scientific fields – palaeontology of invertebrates, micropalaeontology, nano palaeontology, lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and seismostratigraphy.
The training of PhD students is carried out using the existing modern facilities including specialised laboratories and applying an interdisciplinary research approach. All this allows for a complete and comprehensive study and evaluation of the paleontological and stratigraphic issues concerned and for significant expansion and enrichment of the knowledge and professional experience of PhD students. The applied aspect of the doctoral programme is related to some interdisciplinary studies in the field of technogenic raw materials and artefacts. The PhD graduates can find occupational fulfilment in academic and scientific institutions as well as in enterprises and companies related to the prospecting, exploration, mining and processing of mineral and energy raw materials. |
