Problems encountered in forest- and landscape management often have a spatial dimension. Methods and technics of geoinformation sciences GIS and/or optimization give support to identify good solutions. Students learn to conceptualize, implement and combine I) spatial analysis & modeling of geodata and, II) optimization techniques, based on theoretical inputs and practical work on small projects.
Learning objective
Understand, search for, and manage various types of geospatial data; Carry out conceptual data modelling for a spatial and/or optimisation problem and translate it into a tangible form within a GIS software; Conceptualize spatial and/or optimisation problems and design a workflow that transitions from "data processing" through "advanced spatial analysis" to "presentation of results"; Implement such a workflow in standard GIS and/or optimisation software, verify and validate the procedures, then present the final results.
