Learning outcomes
PR01. Collect, process and analyze information in the field of earth sciences. PR04. Use information technologies, cartographic and geo-informational models in the field of Earth sciences. PR07. Apply models, methods and data of physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, mathematics, information technology, etc. when studying natural processes of geosphere formation and development. PR11.

Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
The student must possess elementary practical skills of collecting and analyzing meteorological and hydrological information, statistical processing of data and cartographic information, be able to calculate morphometric and hydrographic characteristics of water bodies and their basins, etc. To know the theoretical foundations of mathematics, mathematical statistics, computer technologies, programming, general hydrology, climatology, meteorology, geology, earth science, topography, cartography, geodesy, hydrometry.
Course content
The educational discipline is dedicated to studying the basic concepts of geoinformation systems and problems related to geoinformation resources and technologies in hydrometeorology, clarifying modern approaches to the design and implementation of geoinformation systems in the scientific activity and operational practice of a hydrologist. The student learns the basic tools and methods of working in the GIS environment using the open access QGIS package as an example, in particular, preparation data and graphic documents, electronic maps, image processing, spatial data (geoobjects, geoenvironment, geoprocesses), morphometric and hydrographic analysis of the characteristics of water bodies and their basins, cartographic presentation of results.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
lectures, modular tests, report on practical work, intermediate control
Assessment methods and criteria
During the semester, after the completion of the relevant topics, thematic written control papers with open questions are conducted. It is mandatory for the exam to write test papers according to content modules, to complete all practical works. For students who scored a total of less than the critical calculation minimum - 36 points, writing essays on insufficiently mastered topics is a mandatory condition for admission to the exam. Final evaluation in the form of an exam: the maximum number of points on the exam is 40 points, the minimum number of points that are added to the semester ones is 24 points (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the exam). Students who, during the semester, scored a total of less points than the critical calculation minimum - 20 points are not allowed to take the exam. The recommended minimum for admission to the exam is 36 points. Evaluation is carried out throughout the semester for all types of work, including independent work.
