Theoretical and practical lessons, with a set of practical work to develop during the semester in the classroom andfieldwork to survey information, carried out with use of positioning Systems (GPS). The evaluation of the module 1has a weight of 50% and is performed with a theoretical/practical test (80%) and a practical work (20%), the 2module with a weight of 50%, is made by means of a theoretical-practical test (80%) and a practical work (20%).

The objectives of the curricular unit result in the acquisition of 4 skills:
1 – understanding the geological and climatic phenomena with expression on the environment;
2-Recognize soiland climatic characteristics and social factors that determine the main land use systems in Portugal;
3-Meet theconcepts and methods of execution of surveys and learn the various techniques of data collection and productionof information;
4-learn about the different forms of cartographic representation and the way to produce and analyze

The syllabus for the acquisition of the skills mentioned are divided into two learning modules:
module1-understanding of geological phenomena and climate and their relationship with the environment and land use;
Module 2-using techniques and tools of withdrawals in the production of cartography
