Section outline
-
-
Introduction to the course, minimal terminology, exam - modified with only lab-project for student assessment
-
Raster and Vector models - formats from GDAL library
-
To pass the course the students must be able to carry out the tasks presented in the following online tutorials. Crossed-out tutorials are not to be considered
-
In this link you will find an overview of web pages for accessing free GIS data sources

-
Please just upload a screenshot (or pdf if you want to be fancy)
-
-
Information on what are CRSs and how to deal with them in QGIS avoiding deep depression
-
Tutorials on where/how download/access geospatial data - updated version 19 November 2019
-
In this section you can download all datasets used in practical lab work.
-
-
10 meter resolution rasters of visible+NIR bands from Sentinel-2 Satellite Imagery over the marmolada region (DS_mountain_goats dataset)
-
-
-
This is a multi-band raster containing four bands, red, green, blue and NIR (near infrared).
-
-
Links to QGIS, the Open Source software that we will use in lectures and labs
-
From this link you can access the page where you can download QGIS - Please install, if you want to work on your laptop, version 3.x. - LONG TERM RELEASE

It is due by Monday Nov. 18 2019 - please upload in the link Assignment 1 hand-in
-
It is due in-class on Friday 29th November 2019 - if you cannot attend please complete the assignment at home and
Upload or copy/paste the two required images in the link Assignment 2 (in class assignment 29th November) hand-in
-
We will create a stack of rasters to simulate ideal positions of farms in Madagascar. This is called "multi-criteria analysis" and is a feature of GIS that is very helpful for educated planning and managment.
