EARTH OBSERVATION & GEOINFORMATICS – semesters 1 & 2
Start of the programme with an ‘Orientation Project’ to guide students regarding structure of entire curriculum, work placements, career opportunities and student life at CDE partner universities, as well as integration with student cohort.
Courses introduce theory and methods of cartographic communication and map design; geospatial data models and systems thinking as a transversal concept for space-time representation.
The module’s courses focus on new and existing Earth observation systems including satellite remote sensing, but also complementary technologies and other (globally or regionally available) data sources and the integration thereof.
Students are offered a selection of core EO*GI on advanced geospatial data analysis using mixed input data and analytical methods such as Object-based image analysis (OBIA) and advanced spatial analysis techniques with a particular focus on remote sensing applications and image analysis.
The module has the ambition to frame the need for data manipulation and management in applied, case-driven scenarios. Software development, included in this module, is a key to success in this respect.
Depending on the chosen topic, summer schools and BIPs will be offering a variety of themes, the content will allow students to build a holistic understanding of the respective theme through an immersive experience.
