Earth environment is a single, vast interdependent system. We cannot make demands on the environment in one part of the world without creating consequences in another. Earth’s increasingly complex environmental challenge demand increasingly sophisticated solutions. Forest is the main character of environment. Geographic information system (GIS) is one solution to humanity’s need to better manage. Protect and preserve our environment.
Environmental GIS describes the use of geo-spatial management methodology and tools in order to assist in developing an Forest Management strategy. As GIS applications reach a broader audience, and the utilization of GIS spreads into new industries every day, the demand within the private and public sectors continues to grow. GIS has become a primary means of communicating spatial information in a multitude of settings in environmental applications.
In this class, you will learn about basic GIS concepts including spatial data structures, data sources and transfer methods, projections and coordinate systems, geo-referencing, fundamental of spatial analysis, with the hands on exercise in Open source GIS Tools. Course exercise specially emphasis on environmental case studies and related tasks. Concepts presented in lecture will be put into practice through hands-on laboratory exercises utilizing the GIS software product like: ArcGIS, QGIS, GRASS
The KIG was set up in 2009 in Mumbai. It started out by offering short-term GIS training programs and for professional, students and corporate business sector. KIG is to address all type of training need of geospatial marketplaces. This includes software training and research in the field of:
- Geographic information System (GIS)
- Open source GIS
- Remote Sensing
- Photogrametry
- Global Position System (GPS)
- Arial Surveying and LiDAR
- Advanced Surveying Technologies and Instruments
- Application specific Training i.e. GIS for Urban Planning, Surveying
