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.

Assessment methods and criteria
Conditions for admission to credit: the recommended minimum for admission is 36 points. For students who scored a total of less than 36 points (recommended minimum) number, a mandatory condition for admission to the credit is the writing of essays on issues of missed or insufficiently mastered topics. - the final assessment in the form of credit is conducted in written format. The maximum number of points during the assessment is 40, the minimum number of points added to semester grades is 24 (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the assessment). The final grade in the discipline consists of the points scored by the student based on the results of the semester control of the first and second parts and the points of the final test.
