Training program

Ecology and environmental management (Faculty of Soil Science)

The training program for the specialty "ecology" provides for the study of the theoretical and practical foundations of such subjects as general and applied ecology, ecology of plants, animals, microorganisms, radiation ecology, toxicology, human ecology, environmental epidemiology, geo-urban studies, etc. Much attention is paid to the development of modern physical sciences. -chemical methods for studying environmental objects, system analysis of biosphere processes, as well as in-depth study of the organization and technology of environmental management, the basis of which is: environmental assessment, environmental management and marketing, audit, assessment of technogenic systems and environmental risk. An ecologist specialist must master the most modern methods of studying the state of the environment, be able to predict and model various natural-anthropogenic processes and situations. Therefore, during the training process, students receive in-depth training in the field of geoinformatics, geographic information systems and modeling, computer processing of monitoring data and remote sensing. Particular attention in the learning process is paid to the formation of systematic environmental thinking in students, an integrated approach to solving problems of human interaction with the environment, and the influence of the role of natural and man-made factors on human health. In accordance with professional interests, students can specialize in the field of environmental assessment, environmental management and audit, chemical and biological environmental control, human ecology and environmental safety. The training of an ecologist allows you to solve the following tasks: to competently assess the impact on the environment, as well as the examination of socio-economic and economic activities in the territories; conduct environmental assessments of various types of design analysis; design standard measures for nature protection and rational use of natural resources, ensure environmental safety of various spheres of human activity, carry out control and audit activities and environmental audits, professionally organize and implement environmental management systems at enterprises, organizations, as well as in administrative and municipal structures. In the field of soil science, each department of the faculty has its own, and sometimes several, profiles: Genesis and evolution of soils, Geography and cartography of soils, Physics of soils, Soil reclamation, Soil chemistry, Protection of soils from erosion, Agrochemistry and plant biochemistry, Soil ecology, Management land resources, Land cadastre, Soil and landscape design, etc.

The Faculty of Soil Science is a relatively young and dynamically developing faculty of Moscow University and the largest educational institution in this field in the country’s university education system. The faculty trains soil scientists and ecologists - specialists in the research and rational use of land resources, environmental assessment of the state of the natural environment. The need for such specialists is great in various spheres of life and economic activity of society, especially in the conditions of new economic relations.

Soil science studies the patterns of formation and functioning of soils and soil cover of the Earth, their ecological functions in the biosphere and role in natural and cultural landscapes.

Soil science is closely related to ecology - a science that understands the complex connections between various components of nature, the influence of the activities of human society on these connections and on natural objects, therefore the Faculty of Soil Science provides training in two specialties: "soil science" and "ecology".

The faculty has approximately 450 undergraduate and 110 graduate students. Paid educational programs “Land Resources Assessment and Management” and “Soil and Landscape Design” have been opened.

Training in the specialty "soil science" is based on courses in soil science, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, agricultural chemistry, etc. A significant part of the study time is devoted to special courses taught in departments and the preparation of coursework and diploma works. Much attention is paid to the study of the fundamentals of computer science, mathematical modeling of natural and especially soil processes; students gain in-depth skills in working on personal computers and master modern information technologies.

The education received at the faculty in the field of soil science allows graduates to work in research institutions and production organizations, in business, as well as to engage in teaching activities in higher and secondary educational institutions.

The most important task of soil science is the assessment of land resources. Currently, in the context of commercial turnover of certain categories of land, this task becomes especially urgent. Its solution requires determining the quality of the soil, qualified economic and environmental assessment and, finally, determining its value. On a national scale, graduates of the faculty participate in the development and implementation of the land cadastre.

Soil science serves as the basis for organizing rational land use. Knowledge about the state of soil cover is a necessary condition for the rational use and management of land resources, taking into account their economic and environmental assessments - position in the landscape, aesthetic value. An intensively developing direction in this area of ​​application of soil science is soil-landscape design, which aims to create landscapes with specified aesthetic and functional properties. In addition, soil scientists participate in solving issues related to environmental pollution, develop and implement standards for environmental regulation of the state of land resources, natural waters and forests, and determine the causes of the greenhouse effect and changes in biological diversity.

Currently, the most relevant for the sustainable development of both our country and the world community as a whole are environmental problems associated with human impact on the environment. Many of them threaten environmental disaster. Responding to the demands of the time, the Faculty of Soil Science trains highly qualified specialists in the field of ecology.

The training program for the specialty "ecology" provides for the study of the theoretical and practical foundations of such subjects as general and applied ecology, ecology of plants, animals, microorganisms, radiation ecology, toxicology, human ecology, environmental epidemiology, geo-urban studies, etc. Much attention is paid to the development of modern physical sciences. -chemical methods for studying environmental objects, system analysis of biosphere processes, as well as in-depth study of the organization and technology of environmental management, the basis of which is: environmental assessment, environmental management and marketing, audit, assessment of technogenic systems and environmental risk.

An ecologist specialist must master the most modern methods of studying the state of the environment, be able to predict and model various natural-anthropogenic processes and situations. Therefore, during the training process, students receive in-depth training in the field of geoinformatics, geographic information systems and modeling, computer processing of monitoring data and remote sensing.

Particular attention in the learning process is paid to the formation of students' systemic ecological thinking, an integrated approach to solving problems of human interaction with the environment, and the influence of the role of natural and man-made factors on human health.

In accordance with professional interests, students can specialize in the field of environmental assessment, environmental management and audit, chemical and biological environmental control, human ecology and environmental safety.

The training of an ecologist allows you to solve the following tasks: competently assess environmental impacts, as well as examine socio-economic and economic activities in the territories; conduct environmental assessments of various types of design analysis; design standard measures for nature protection and rational use of natural resources, ensure environmental safety of various spheres of human activity, carry out control and audit activities and environmental audits, professionally organize and implement environmental management systems at enterprises, organizations, as well as in administrative and municipal structures.

Types of professional activity of an ecologist: scientific research in the field of ecology and nature conservation in academic institutions and universities; in environmental services of departments, municipalities and state and commercial enterprises, in design organizations, in auditing, insurance, marketing companies and services.

Field training practices play a very important role in preparation. The faculty has a training and experimental soil-ecological center "Chashnikovo" in the Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region, which serves as a base for educational and practical training for students. A special place is occupied by the so-called zonal practice, where in field conditions students become familiar with the soil and vegetation of the main natural zones of our country.

The important advantages of the education received at the Faculty of Soil Science are its fundamentality and breadth. Students study special disciplines based on thorough training in chemistry, mathematics, computer science, geology and other fundamental sciences. This allows them in the future, in independent scientific or industrial activities, to easily navigate a wide range of issues not only in their chosen specialty, but in related fields of knowledge.

The Faculty of Soil Science is one of the leading research centers in its field. Faculty members fruitfully develop major scientific problems in various fields of soil science and ecology. Students take direct part in scientific research conducted at the faculty.

The faculty employs 65 doctors of science and 125 candidates of science. In total, the faculty employs about 300 employees. Academician of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences V.G. teaches and conducts research at the faculty. Mineev, full member of the Academy of Natural Sciences I.I. Sudnitsyn, corresponding member of the Academy of Natural Sciences M.S. Kuznetsov, Honored Professor of Moscow University D.S. Orlov and D.G. Zvyagintsev.

The curriculum provides for the preparation of bachelors (duration of study - 4 years) and masters (duration of study - 2 years).
