The Advanced Geomatics module aims to give the students advanced tools to virtually approach any Geomatics related problem. Students will be introduced into the techniques of geographic scripting, which will allow them to then solve complex geographic matters by writing simplified programs to access online datasets, download them, process them in batch mode, generate spatially aggregated data and produce reports to describe them.


Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. write simple geographic scripts

  2. generate spatially aggregated datasets from spatial and non spatial information

  3. process raster and vector data

  4. embed advanced processing modules for forestry analysis into geographic scripts
