Learning outcomes
|
Introduction to the basics of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing and digital image analysis as tools for the retrieving, processing and presentation of the Earth surface data and information in the different spatial scale. Students will gain knowledge about the ways GIS and remote sensing methods are used in agriculture and ecological disciplines.
Student will get a basic overview and skill in a problematic of remote sensing and analysis of spatial data in study area of the life sciences.
