The objectives of this course are to give the student an
effective approach to the use of GIS and GPS, with focus on work in
nature management and forestry. By bringing together students
from several studies and from different countries it will be
possible to create groups of professional and personal networks of
users. Such networks can create a stimulating environment for
using GIS and GPS in a much wider scope than the course’s immediate
objectives.

Knowledge
- Collect data by fieldwork and through aerial photographs
- Processing and analysing data.
- Publish results on webGIS
Skills
