Geographic Information Systems - raster
7.5 ECTS credits
The course covers methods in the treatment of geographic information in raster format by means of GIS software. The main focus is on data layers in vector and raster format as well as spatial analysis of the collected data.
Students work independently on a GIS project, including project planning, data collection, analysis, and presentation of results. The course includes a series of lectures, and students collect their own background information about the area in which the analyses are carried out and compile their results in a project report to be presented in a seminar.
