Full-time form

1. Know the key provisions of computer science, topography and geodesy, general geographical disciplines. 2. Be able to apply mathematical and statistical methods in geography. 3. To possess basic skills in the information and network environment.

The discipline "Geoinformation Systems (GIS) in Natural Sciences" is a course that teaches to use modern digital technologies for collecting, analyzing, processing and visualizing spatial (geographical) data in nature, environment and resources. The purpose of the course is to form students' knowledge and practical skills in working with geoinformation systems as a tool for analyzing natural processes and phenomena. GIS is a key tool for modern geographers, ecologists, geologists, biologists, meteorologists, land managers, cartographers, agrarians, etc.

Lectures, practical work, independent work

Survey in the form of a test, evaluation of the performance of practical work, MKR, credit. The recommended minimum for admission is 36 points. For students who scored a total of less than 36 points (recommended minimum), a mandatory condition for admission to the credit is to write essays on issues of missed or insufficiently mastered topics. The final evaluation in the form of an credit is conducted in a written format. The maximum number of points during the exam is 40, the minimum number of points added to semester points is 24 (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the credit).
