This unit will provide the student with a sound knowledge and understanding of cartographic communication principles, processes and contemporary presentation methods in a variety of mapping formats applied to Geospatial Information. This unit provides a theoretical and practical introduction into geographic information systems and science that incorporates modern processes of acquisition, manipulation, validation, storage, extraction, analysis, modelling and presentation of spatial information. This Unit provides an introduction to Earth observation using remote sensing that includes properties of the basic resolutions of remote sensing, and interaction of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with different features and phenomena. The technology and science that allow data collection, calibration and analysis are covered using a range of satellite and sub-orbital imagery sources. Students develop digital image processing and classification workflows to prepare and present geospatial information products with quantified accuracy. Students also develop and demonstrate their ability to use spectrophotometers, active remote sensing platforms and modern digital photogrammetry workflows. Students will be able to accurately use and create remotely sensed information products suitable to other geospatial and environmental applications. This Unit applies theoretical concepts to develop basic remote sensing skills suited to a range of environmental and development related fields.
Spatial Analysis is a rapidly evolving area of expertise aiming at using analytic approaches for describing spatial distributions and patterns, and analysing relationships of geographic features. This unit builds on EVB211 - Geographic Information Systems and Science, to further develop your theoretical knowledge and practical skills in spatial analysis as a support for decision-making and for spatial planning in different applied disciplines. Upon completing this unit you will demonstrate intermediate-advanced skills in acquiring, extracting, storing, analysing, modelling and presenting spatial information in a GIS environment and some knowledge of spatial analysis in R.
