This unit provides students with an understanding of advanced spatial information science (SIS) procedures, and experience in the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) in environmental fields. The unit is divided into three modules. Module one includes modelling landforms and other environmental variables in GIS, an introduction to geostatistics, and a range of case studies from areas including catchment hydrology, climate variables, natural hazards and vegetation mapping. Module two covers more advanced RS techniques to derive spatial information on land cover and land cover change, and the latest satellite programs. Module three deals with... -- Course Website
