Earth observation of water resources  

Description

In the first week of this course we introduce the geospatial problem solving approach. For this we consider the differences between uses and users of geo-information for problem solving, and the needs for answering geospatial questions. Furthermore, we discuss the influence of societal differences in selecting approaches and priorities when managing natural resources. We will also discuss the role of geo-information in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals and other global challenges. In the last two weeks of the course you will carry out a project assignment, in which you apply elements of the geospatial problem solving approach to produce geo-information relevant for a specific geospatial problem issue.
