This course provides an advanced, practice-oriented exploration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing with a focus on environmental science applications. Building on introductory GIS knowledge, students will develop skills in spatial problem-solving, spatial modelling, geodatabase management, and geospatial programming. The course covers theoretical and practical aspects of remote sensing, including image acquisition, processing, enhancement techniques, and planetary-scale environmental monitoring. Emphasis is placed on the application of GIS and remote sensing methods for environmental data acquisition, manipulation, analysis, visualization, and presentation. Students will gain competency using ESRI and open-source GIS software to manage spatial and attribute data, conduct spatial analysis, and execute projects relevant to environmental decision support. The course is fully online and assessed entirely by coursework, including case study reviews, collaborative discussions, and individual GIS and remote sensing projects with reports and
presentations.
