Geographic Information Systems
Academic Year 2022/23
CS002 course is part of 1 study plan
N-P-C-SI (N) / V Summer Semester 1st year
The Geographic information systems offers many tools for solving the problem of watershed and nature protection. Geographic information systems provide tools and operations capable of simulating the methods and approaches used to solving environmental issues. The concept of teaching is focused on spatial analysis, digital elevation models, application, GIS outputs and major GIS products, especially suitable in water management and by solving soil erosion and flood conservation in the river basin.
