GG5570: FUNDAMENTALS AND ADVANCED APPLICATIONS OF MAP ALGEBRA (2022-2023)

Last modified: 31 Jul 2023 11:19

Course Overview

This course aims at progressing knowledge of spatial analysis tools in GIS. A variety of Map algebra techniques will be applied to solve complex GIS projects. Part one is focussed on solving a relatively simple spatial analysis exercise on climate. Part two focuses on automation in GIS and large spatial data analyses using Python. Part three is a multiple practical exercise that trains students to use best practices and advanced spatial analysis techniques to resolve a complex GIS problem simulating a real-life work assignment.
