The Rock Research Laboratory provide facilities for rock and sediment thin section preparation, grain size distribution analysis of fine-grained sediments, field tests of groundwater and surface water composition and aggregate rock hardness tests. The Rock Research Laboratory is participation in the implementation of bachelor, master, and doctoral study programmes in the field of geology and related disciplines, as well as scientific research implementing the latest research methodologies and findings. The aim of the laboratory is to support study process and scientific research. Main tasks: support the implementation laboratory, particle and seminary work for the study course in rock research methods, sedimentology and geochemistry; provide the research facilities for students including PhDs and academic personnel; implementing the latest research methods in the filed.

The course objectives are to perfect students' basics of the German language as a means of a cross-cultural communication and to continue developing students' interaction skills, extending vocabulary and phrases, adding grammar and grammatical structures, so that students perceive and understand simple written texts (reading comprehension), are able to understand spoken questions, short dialogues and oral utterances (listening comprehension), as well to communicate orally (oral communication skills) and in writing (written communication skills) with German speaking students, teachers, friends, colleagues, customers and so on in everyday, study, practice and working situations , selecting the right words, phrases and constructions, selecting the right words, phrases and constructions, according to the situation, country or province.

The course is aimed at learning Italian at level A1 to develop students' communicative competence, which is essential for successful oral and written communication as well as to develop skills to use them in communication in various everyday situations. Using the communicative language teaching method, students are given the opportunity to use the language practically from the first lesson. The classes use a number of authentic materials, including audio, video as well as online materials. The objectives of the course : 1. to expand students' vocabulary and comprehension of grammar in Italian; 2. to develop four language skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking) intensively; 3. to develop students’ ability to communicate in informal everyday situations.

The aim of the course is to promote intercultural competence of students and ability to apply it into teaching and learning process. Students will achieve new knowledge and understanding about essence of intercultural dialogue, successful dialogue prerequisites and risks. Students will gain ability to analyze different contemporary contexts of teaching and learning will be ready to make professional decisions in specific teaching and learning cases for promoting intercultural dialogue.

The aim of the course is to improve students’ transversal skills (critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, entrepreneurship, self-regulated learning, collaboration, civic participation and digital literacy) development in the study process. The course objectives: • to promote students' understanding of transversal skills and application in their own studies , personal life and pedagogical activities; • to promote students' understanding of personal development. The language of instruction is Latvian.

The purpose of this course is to offers students more in-depth knowledge about administrative law, focusing on practical or theoretical issues that are not clear, as well as on issues which relate to newly adopted normative regulations or legal norms which have not been reviewed in the BA programme. Lectures are discussions about timely issues, reviewing that which is already known and then continuing on with a more in-depth look at the relevant issues. Case files and court practice will be brought to bear whenever possible, thus deepening the understanding of students about specific aspects of administrative law and administrative procedure.

The objective of the course is to get students familiar with common and subject related questions about science teaching and learning methodology. Students will obtain introductory knowledge and understanding about organizing teaching and learning process necessary to work as science teacher. Students will analyze and reflect; simulate and modelling about teaching-learning process. Items with examples about mathematics, informatics and geography subjects teaching and learning are included.

The goal of this course is to provide students with the basic knowledge about physical processes determining the processes in the ocean (sea) and atmosphere. The objectives of this course: 1. to provide theoretical knowledge about equations describing the motion of the water in the sea, and the typical processes, e.g., upwelling, and typical patterns of the currents. 2. to process described span the whole globe, with special attention being paid to processes in the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga. During the laboratory exercises students will carry out tasks independently using Python programming language and “Jupyter notebooks”. In the laboratory exercises students will carry out the processing and visualization of real atmospheric and ocean data, to be able to analyze how the processes that were theoretically described in lectures are exhibited in nature. The part of the necessary code, for instance, data downloading, that is not important to the basic goals of the course

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of international environmental law. The course starts with a general discourse on the functions of law and how can law be employed to address global and regional environmental problems. A special emphasis is placed the relationship of environmental law and environmental ethics. Then students learn basics on sources of international law and explore how these sources apply to the protection of environment. This general introduction is followed by a more detailed analysis of particular areas such as climate change, biodiversity, water law, high seas fisheries, state responsibility and other topical issues. The emphasis in this course is placed on interactive study methods e.g., active student engagement via teamwork, discussions and student presentations.
