GIS & Remote Sensing: Foundations to Field Projects
Coordinate systems, vector and raster analysis, satellite sensors, spectral indices and map production with open-source tools.
Course modules
- 01Spatial data, projections and data sources
- 02Vector analysis, digitising and geoprocessing
- 03Raster analysis, DEMs and terrain derivatives
- 04Optical remote sensing: Landsat & Sentinel-2
- 05Spectral indices (NDVI, NDWI…) and classification
- 06Cartography and publication-quality maps
Learning outcomes
- Independently acquire, process and analyse satellite data
- Produce land-use / land-cover maps with accuracy assessment
- Design clear maps for reports and papers
Project-based training
Every participant completes a capstone: Cartography and publication-quality maps. Labs use real environmental, agricultural or engineering datasets.
Tools
- QGIS
- Sentinel-2
- Landsat
- SRTM DEM
