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.
Content
What is geographical information like? What are geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and global positioning systems (GNSS/GPS)?
What are the principles, applications and trends of geographic information systems and sciences?
How to visualize spatial data? How to make digital maps, data conversions, geo databases, data queries and data extraction? How to collect spatial data?
How can GIS, RS and GNSS/GPS be used in environmental engineering?
Course material
The license to related software will be provided and materials are provided via Learn platform of the course.
Study forms and methods
The course is conducted in the form of contact teaching with Scheduled Track. The students need to participate in the classroom activities where the problem/project related to the topic is discussed and solved together in a seminar-based setting in accordance with the schedule.
There are no possibilities for distance learning.
RDI and work-related cooperation
We will use various data set from international and national space agencies.
Timing of exams and assignments
There will be mandatory assignments with deadlines ranging between two to three weeks from the start date which is the date of seminar for the specific topic. Exam will be conducted at the end of the course in a form of Learn exam. More details of assignments and exams will be agreed on the first day of the course.
