- The Application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has flooded almost every field in the engineering, natural and social sciences, offering accurate, efficient, reproducible methods for collecting, viewing and analysing spatial data. Forests are important renewable natural resources and have a significant role in preserving an environment suitable for human life.
-
The evolution of GIS, the Global Positioning System (GPS), and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies has enabled the collection and analysis of field data in ways that were not possible before the arrival of computers.
GIS concepts and GIS tools used to visualise real-world features, discover patterns, obtain information, and communicate that information to others. Using the GIS platform, you will create GIS maps, explore the data behind the maps, and analyse maps and data as you master fundamental concepts that underlie GIS technology.
- Find, explore, and create maps using GIS.
- Help students visualize and query the spatial data and attribute data and make connections to their own environment.
- Present questions and have students explore GIS maps to find answers.
- Guide students through a standard process for investigating a problem using GIS.
- Prepare a GIS map presentation on a topic of interest.
- Prepare a Layout of the map for the AOI.
- Connecting to geospatial data over the internet.
- Working with geodatabase.
- How to work with attribute data.
- Displaying, symbolizing and classifying geospatial datasets.
- Creating maps for printing.
- How to perform attribute and spatial data queries.
- How to perform spatial analyses.
- On-screen digitizing of map data; importing coordinates.
- Metadata - what it is and why you need to know about it and create it.
