Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to
Transform coordinate systems and projections
Use geographic information systems (GIS) to assess and model environmental, geoscientific processes and environmental problems
Use digital elevation models to perform morphometric analyses of catchments
Basic principles of GIS: Boolean operations, vector and raster models Basic cartography: transformation of coordinate systems and projections, distributed statistics. Analysis of catchments, flow paths and topographic wetness index. Analysis of environmental aquatic transport processes, water resource planning and environmental impact assessment.
