GEM 404- GIS Modeling For Environmental Applications
This course provides students with a theoretical understanding and practical experience in GIS modeling for specific environmental applications. It introduces new environmental applications to GIS modeling techniques (in addition to GEM402) and methodology to use in combination with GIS analysis techniques for spatial modeling for environmental applications. Students have the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in spatial modeling using the GIS package with extensions.
Course Syllabus
The applications of GIS for environment managements are endless and varied in environmental spheres and specific environmental issues. GIS for environment assists the use of location-based data with management tools in the decision making processes that together can form an environmental management strategy.
This course will provide students with a theoretical understanding and practical experience in GIS modeling for specific environment applications. It will introduce new environmental applications to GIS modeling techniques (in addition to GEM400, GEM401 and GEM403) and methodology to use in combination with GIS analysis techniques for spatial modeling for environmental applications. The discussed environmental applications relate to natural recourse use as well as engineering tasks.
Students will have the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in spatial modelling using the GIS package with extensions. A series of laboratory works are designed to lead the students through the keys steps in spatial modeling for environmental applications.
Learning Outcomes
