| Learning outcomes |
|
The course is devoted to the theory and practice of applying geographic information systems in physical geography and their use in processing, analysing, interpreting, and visualising physical-geographical data. The aim of the course is to develop the ability to create analytical and cartographic materials applicable to the assessment of landscape, environmental risks, and physical-geographical processes.
Knowing the problems and address challenges with a focus on physical geography, using geo-information technology. |
