Skills to be acquired in this module | The module introduces the students into the use of geographic information systems for the analysis of spatially relevant issues and questions. Participants will learn how to handle vector and raster data, attribute tables (selection, manipulation, field calculations), how to create vector and raster data, how to digitize geometries and how to use essential geoprocessing tools (buffer, intersection, erase, ...) and how to perform raster calculations for analysis. The students are enabled to use the tools based on previously considered workflows. In addition, an understanding of how to deal with coordinate systems and projections will be conveyed, as well as an introduction into cartography and the layout of printable maps with QGIS using symbology tools. |
