Training of Specialists and Masters on Geology in the Field of Placers, Technogenic Deposits and Research the Microstructures of Substance in Perm University

摘要

Placers and man-made (technogenic) deposits are an important resource for mining in the world. The geological department of the University of Perm has being training of specialists, bachelors, masters and PhDs in placer and technogenic deposit geology since 1961. A scientific school has been formed to study the structure and composition of alluvium deposit and placers. Specialized concentrating complexes and techniques have been developed that allow for prospecting and exploration for placers of gold, platinum, diamonds, zirconium-titanium minerals. Much attention is paid to the study of the geology of technogenic-mineral formations.The consolidation of knowledge and practical work skills occurs during the period of specialized training practice in the search and exploration of minerals. The practice takes place on alluvial deposits and man-made objects of the Western Urals, the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khakassia and Tuva. While studying, students write scientific articles and take part at scientific conferences. The materials of educational and industrial practices are the basis for the implementation of term, graduate and thesis bachelors and specialists, masters theses. Over the past 10 years, more than 150 graduates have been trained for industrial, scientific, and research organizations.
