Distance (study pace 50%)
Forest as a part of landscape is a geospatial object. Consequently, in a forest science we often face the spatial data. Are skills to process geospatial data essential for any forest & landscape researcher? Without doubts – yes!
In this fully distance course (pace 50%), we cover basics of geographic information systems (GIS). During four weeks, we will focus on GIS applications in forestry and landscape context. This course addresses important aspects for beginners:
• ArcGIS Pro and R for geospatial analysis
• Vector data analysis
• Spatial analysis using raster data
• Field data collection and GIS.
Besides theory & practice in GIS, we will teach you how to make simple yet aesthetically pleasant & clear maps for your presentations and reporting.
