This course enables students to explore the theory and techniques of GIS and remote sensing in applications related to the study of environmental processes. Focus will be on geomorphometry, spatial hydrology and catchment process modelling. Students reflect on the impacts of uncertainty in source data and the role of digital elevation model data processing techniques in geomatics-based analysis. Students will be trained in application areas including catchment mapping, stream network analysis, soil moisture modelling, automated soils mapping techniques, among other applications.
