ECOL472 Environmental Informatics and Modeling
Course categoryEcology and Environment Sciences
This 3 ECTS course provides the fundamentals of environmental informatics, different types of
database management systems, spatial data structure, how to extract information from different
data sources such as airborne data, space-borne data, climate data, GPS, topographical maps, and how to convert them into digital form. It also teaches the students how to integrate and
analyze the trend and patterns. It also introduces the students to the concept of weightage, and how to assign class weightage and layer weightage. The fundamentals of spatial modeling and how to perform modeling to identify the suitability and vulnerability. It also introduces the components of an information system and remote sensing. This course also demonstrates data collection using GPS, Map reading, DBMS, 2D analysis, and 3D analysis
