Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the field of geoinformatics and to establish a basic understanding of digital geographic technologies and their use in nature conservation and environmental protection. The course provides an overview of key principles of Remote Sensing, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), with a focus on their practical applications in environmental contexts. Students become familiar with the basic procedures of geographic data collection and digitisation, the creation of data and database models, working with Digital Terrain Models, and using fundamental GIS analytical functions. Practical exercises are oriented towards simple application tasks related to nature conservation, landscape and environmental issues. The course establishes a foundational professional and digital framework for further studies in geoinformatics and environmentally oriented GIS applications.
