1. Know the theory of evolution of the planet Earth, the structure of the tectonosphere and the theory of plate tectonics;.
2. Know the basic methods of monitoring the stress-strain state of the Earth's surface;
3. To know the basic principles of processing the results of geodetic monitoring of the earth's surface;
4. Be able to apply mathematical models to predict the development of deformation processes by the results of geodetic measurements.

Prerequisites:
• Modern GNSS information resources
• Analytical and numerical research methods

The course studies basic information about the dynamics of geospheres and the Earth as a whole. Surveying methods in the study of planetary geodynamic phenomena. Methods for studying the physical conditions of tectonic movements, deformations of masses, rocks and the Earth's surface, as well as external forces acting on the dynamics of the planet. Methods and technical means of research of geodynamic processes. Geodetic researches in the study of landslide processes, modern movements of the earth's surface and the stress - strain state of the Earth 's crust. Approaches to collecting and processing information on the results of geodetic measurements to solve the problems of forecasting and calculating the stress-strain state of the crust.
