Course objectives
This course introduces the main concepts and components of a geographic information system (GIS). It also provides a practical to spatial database design and spatial data analysis through the use of the ArcGIS and Remote Sensing programs. Remote sensing and GIS are powerful tools for identifying, collection, management, processing, visualization and analysis of digital spatial data for use in geological applications. In this course, remote sensing and GIS will be combined with geological databases in order to identify and analysis lineaments from satellite images and the digital elevation model (DEM), and to create landslide susceptibility map.
Syllabus
  • • Knowledge of the basic concepts and uses of GIS technology. • Knowledge of various GIS data formats. • How to obtain, process, and analyze GIS data. • Collect, process, and integrate spatial data from a variety of sources. • Ability to create high precision maps. • Ability to extract and manually digitize the lineaments and other discontinuities (e.g. Faults) from airborne sources (landsat and DEM data). • Use GIS and Remote Sensing as a tool for hazard assessment (landslide). • Use GIS and Remote Sensing techniques to solve problems in other geological research.
Teaching methods
The primary GIS software will use in this course is ArcGIS version 9.2 from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). Other image processing programs: ERDAS Imagine 8.7, ArcView 3.2, Reproject me, and ENVI 4.7.) Operating system is Windows XP.
