"Advanced gis for geoscientists"@en . . "7.50" . "By the end of the course, the student will have acquired:\nAn advanced skill level in performing a spatial analysis with a large GIS: being able to input data, perform GIS analyses and present results.\nA theoretical background on GIS.\nA view on GIS practice within and outside the University.\nA working experience with large and small scale spatial data and being able to apply that in research.\nPresentation of a GIS research: report, oral and poster.\nIn this “hands on” course the emphasis lays on working with GIS together with a theoretical embedding. The Software used is ArcGIS 10 (desktop) and ArcGIS PRO together with Erdas Imagine (eATE, Virtual GIS and Stereo Analyst) and Agisoft Photoscan.\n- Learning advanced theory of geospatial data analysis\n- Performing a complete GIS-analysis: datainput - analysis - dataoutput/mapmaking – scientific reporting\n- Getting familiar with DEM extraction methods\n- Training in oral and written presentation of the individual exercises\n- Training in designing and developing a poster on DEM extraction.\n- Getting familiar with current Geo-spatial-datasets\n- Getting familiar with current GIS practice. Content\nPlease note: maximum capacity for this course is 40 students. \nPriority will be given to Earth Surface and Water students, track Geohazards and earth observation.\n\nIn this “hands on” course the emphasis lays on working with GIS together with a theoretical embedding. The Software used is ESRI ArcGIS (both desktop and workstation) together with Erdas Imagine (LPS eATE, Virtual GIS and Stereo Analyst, Agisoft photoscan).\n\nThe course exists of two major parts:\nThe assignment is a traditional workflow existing of the making of a “Potential Erosion Map” of a part of South Limburg, the Netherlands. Part of the data is available (Top10 and contour lines) in digital form. Another part must be digitized (soil map). The analyses are calculating derivatives and combining the data to one or more resulting maps. The maps must be presented through hardcopies in a scientific report.\nDEM extraction of aerial photography. This project must be presented in a poster and oral presentation.\nAdditional smaller assignments can be given and must be handed in.\n\nStudents work in groups of 2 or alone if seats or software licenses allow.\nLearning advanced theory of geospatial data analysis.\nPerforming a complete GIS-project: datainput -> analysis -> mapmaking/report.\nGetting familiar with DEM extraction methods.\nTraining in oral and written presentation of the individual exercises.\nTraining in designing and developing a poster on DEM extraction\n.\nDevelopment of Transferable Skills\nHandson training GIS.\nReport writing.\nOral presentation, presentation will be video recorded.\nGiving feedback on oral presentations and posters.\nPoster making: A0 scientific poster.\nTechnical skills: using the computer programmes ESRI platform, ErdasImagine.

"The Master’s programme Earth Surface and Water involves the study of natural and human-induced physical and geochemical processes, patterns, and dynamics of the Earth’s continental and coastal systems. The main subject areas you will study during the two-year programme consist of the dynamics of coastal and river systems, (geo-)hydrological processes, groundwater remediation, land degradation in drylands and mountainous regions, natural hazards, and delta evolution on centennial and longer time scales.\n\nFocus on societal problems\nModern society puts increasing pressure on the natural environment. The Earth Surface and Water programme therefore focusses on imminent societal problems, such as society’s increased vulnerability to climate and environmental changes and to natural hazards such as drought, flood, and mass movements. It also addresses the threats and opportunities resulting from human activity on our physical environment, including the hydrological cycle.\n\nCore areas of research\nIn the Earth Surface and Water programme you will study the interactions between the natural and the socio-economic systems using quantitative and spatially explicit methods. It addresses the dynamic patterns and processes of the physical and chemical components on the Earth’s surface, shallow subsurface and the coastal areas. Understanding the historic and current processes will help to predict their responses to global change.\nThe programme contains field observations and laboratory experiments with the latest developments in remote sensing and computational methods.\n\nSome examples of the programme's societal and scientific questions:\nHow do river floods affect delta systems and their inhabitants?\nHow can we use natural processes under climate change to maintain safe - yet attractive and dynamic - coastlines?\nHow to leverage remote sensing for detailed monitoring of natural processes and ecological variables?\nWill we have enough water to sustain the world’s rapidly increasing population in 2050?\nWhat is the most efficient way to clean an oil spill that enters the soil and groundwater?"@en . . . . .
