Geographic Information Systems analysis

Education facts

Code: NGGC68

Instruction is in the form of lectures, laboratory work, and project tasks. The course requires previous knowledge and basic skills in using GIS software, primarily ArcGIS. The course includes analyses and model designs using GIS software and students are shown examples of applications of those methods. Much of the laboratory work consists of data preparation before various analyses are carried out. Forms of analysis covered in the course include: network analysis, spatial analysis, and hydrological modelling, such as accessibility across a roadnet or the importance of topography for different natural processes. Students find, read, and summarise academic articles.
