The course is focused on late to post-orogenic (post-Variscan) tectono-sedimentary history of geological units, which consist the platform cover of the Bohemian Massif and Western Carpathians on the territory of the Czech Republic. It is a continuation of the similar course focused on pre-Variscan to Variscan development and units consisting the fundament of the Bohemian Massif. The platform cover is subdivided according to its stratigraphical position and the course is divided into the following parts:

1. Introduction to post-orogenic development of the Bohemian Massif - definition and overview.

2. Late Palaeozoic paralic and continental basins of the Bohemian Massif.

3. Mesozoic platform units of the Bohemian Massif

4. Cenozoic platform units of the Bohemian Massif and West Carpathians and neoid volcanites.

5. Quaternary cover of the Czech Republic

Annotation

The goal of the course is to provide a detail information on distribution, stratigraphy and geological development of platform units of the Bohemian Massif and Western Carpation units at the territory of the Czech Republic.
