            five graduates of the Master’s course for their outstanding academic results and Master’s 
            the 2011/2012 academic year. The laureates were presented with their awards at the council

            December 8, 2011.
            The council awarded the following students:
            • Mgr. Peter Mida: “Glacial modelation of cirques and stratigraphy of moraines in the High

            • Mgr. Zuzana Beranová: “Ecological survey and assessment of streams within European Stand
              Application in the Rolava River basin”

            • Mgr. Jakub Jaroš: “Detection of Terrain Skeleton Lines based on Laser Scanning Data”
            • Mgr. Jan Skyva: “Examination of international division of labor using a network analysis
            • Mgr. Kristýna Meislová: “Application of Related Variety Concept in Selected Countries of

              Eastern Europe”
            “The objective of my thesis was to assess the glacial modelation in the High Tatras region
            Slovak and Polish sides,” Mgr. Peter Mida said. “The work has two parts. The first and lar

            concerned with the glacial modelation of cirques, which are erosion forms that remain in t
            even after glaciation. The second and somewhat more concise part concentrated on the accum
            of glaciation, on moraines which are found in the lower altitudes at the foot of the mount

            That is one of the reasons why he continues in the research in his postgraduate course. “W

            If my work produces relevant results, there is a chance that research in the Tatras will m

            Tatras. “We have work cut out for us in the High Tatras,” he laughs.

            colleagues. “In my thesis I was mainly concerned with the application of concepts of evolu

            course.
            “I would be really very pleased if geographic disciplines gained more awareness. I believe
            geographers have a lot to offer to society – a unique capacity of complex thinking and pro

            education in sciences as well as the humanities, an understanding of sustainable developme
            their abilities are underappreciated and overlooked,” Kristýna Meislová said.
