Environmental Analysis Using Remote Sensing and GIS - ENVE383
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 implementation issues and includes other material to equip students for success in a career in spatial information science. Practical sessions cover techniques for data preparation and spatial analysis and culminate in a project in an area nominated by the student.
