Full-time form

1. Know the fundamentals of geoinformatics and the structure and models of geospatial data (based on the coursework in "Fundamentals of GIS" and "Network Geo-ecological Communication Services"). 2. Be able to work with desktop GIS and online open spatial data sources, and perform basic operations with vector and raster layers. 3. Possess skills in the field and office acquisition of geo-ecological data (based on the practical training course on geo-ecological data acquisition methods) and the fundamentals of data processing using spreadsheet software.

In the first section, students independently address issues regarding the organization and storage of geo-ecological information: the data lifecycle and data management plan; geospatial data formats and models; geodatabase design; metadata and description standards; coordinate systems and data transformation; quality control and topological correctness; and the archiving, versioning, and licensing of datasets. The second section involves the independent processing of geo-ecological information: cleaning and normalizing raw measurements; performing attribute queries and calculating derived metrics; vector and raster geoprocessing; zonal statistics and interpolation; calculating spectral indices from remote sensing data; and statistically analyzing and visualizing the results. The outcomes of both sections are compiled into an internship report, which is defended during a graded assessment.
