• Applications of GIS and Remote Sensing in Resource Management

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles, and applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing.
• Collect, manage, and organize spatial data from various sources using appropriate GIS and remote sensing tools.
• Analyze spatial and environmental data to support informed decision-making in natural resource management.
• Apply image processing and classification techniques for monitoring environmental and land-use changes.
• Develop and produce high-quality thematic and analytical maps for visualization, communication, and reporting.
• Integrate remote sensing data with GIS for advanced spatial modeling and analysis.
• Use geospatial tools and techniques to monitor, assess, and manage resources such as land, water, and energy.
• Implement GIS automation and scripting techniques to streamline geospatial workflows and enhance project efficiency.
• Evaluate the role of GIS and remote sensing in sustainable resource management and environmental planning.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS

This course targets professionals, researchers, consultants, and students in natural resource management, environmental planning, and GIS/Remote Sensing.
