FuseGI VLE

FuseGI aims to deliver practical, problem solving GI skills and develop professional GI capabilities to postgraduate students, through the development of an active GI network, and provision of up-date curricula and modern teaching systems based on cutting-edge ICT tools. Although GIS is based on data collection that contain spatial data information. In this course we will define the difference between raster and vector models and understand the use and processing of each one. Thus, with the appropriate theoretical knowledge, we will be able to move on to more practical applications.

In this course we will learn to digitize spatial data and creating shapefiles. In order to do these, you need a background of a scanned map or an aerial photo with known coordinates. Georeferencing is the process to give you the desirable result. Don’t forget to practice on your own and discover QGIS tools.

Until today you have learned to manage, store and create spatial data. This course will help you represent and share your data with other scientists. Representation means optical results. Maps are the models to represent various elements from the real world on a piece of paper. Following the cartographic rules users of GIS can create good and useful maps. But don’t forget there are bad maps too, so be ready to practice on your own and make mistakes till you reach the desired result.

Hydrologists, engineers, biologists or even philosophers study  the cycle of water. Philosophers? Why not? Water is the source of life after all. Water resources management is one of the most modern fields of science. In order to make the right decisions or design hydraulic structures, hydrological analysis should be done. GIS is the first and most useful tool for this analysis. Follow the steps given and a new world of study will appear in front of you.
