Geospatial technologies (GT) have revolutionized environmental research and management in various domains, including ecology, conservation, agriculture, forestry, climate change, and urban planning. These technologies enable the collection, storage, visualization, and analysis of spatially referenced data, providing valuable insights into environmental phenomena. They are utilized for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem health, analyzing land use changes, modeling climate impacts, planning and managing natural resources, and supporting decision-making processes.
The range of GT applications is vast, encompassing traditional GIS tools as well as emerging technologies like remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and citizen science. This course aims to develop a foundational understanding of geospatial technologies' principles and demonstrate their practical applications in various environmental domains.
The course leverages Syslab's partnerships and collaborations with world-leading agencies and companies specializing in geospatial technologies (https://syslab.ceu.edu/projects). Students' participation in the course may lead to internships with partner organizations, relevant thesis research opportunities, and participation in Syslab's projects and professional trainings (e.g. http://isepei.org/workshops).
Successful completion of this course is a prerequisite for the Syslab's winter semester courses, "Introduction to Geospatial Analysis" and "Earth Observations for Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals", as well as syslab’s internship programs.
Exceptional performance may also provide the chance to receive OSUN's GeoHub sponsorship for thesis research and/or internships at partner organizations.
Note: The course content and structure may be subject to minor adjustments based on the availability of guest speakers and other external factors.
