In the near future, our society will face serious challenges on a global scale. We already have to solve tasks arising due to climate change, natural disasters, disturbances of ecosystems, increasing vulnerability of infrastructure and pollution. Specialists capable of handling large geo-data sets and able to convert them into meaningful information are becoming indispensable. Our recently introduced bachelor course based on the concept of environmental geoinformatics intends to fill the gap.
This course offers a complex education in the field of Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing. These techniques are applicable in various fields of environmental research and geosciences. Together we will focus on current topics in water resources management, ecology, and physical geography. Your study will include thoroughly hands-on experience with state-of-the-art instruments and processing software.
