Objective
You are able to explain what geographic information, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and global position systems (GNSS, GPS) are, and how they are used in environmental monitoring and research. You are able to use and make digital maps, collect spatial data, manage and edit geographic information and make information queries to environmental data archives and analyse data in meaningful ways.
