Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean)
ESSO-INCOIS, Hyderabad, India


Overview

Geospatial science provides vital information on the sustainable use of the coastal resource and planning. It an imperative use such techniques for managing densely populated coastal environs. This course provides an overview of GIS applications pertaining to coastal mapping. It will provide the basic GIS mapping techniques on coastal erosion, mangrove and coral reef using open source GIS tools. Course also includes data acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation of coastal spatial data. In addition extensive hands on sessions will be conducted to use tools for preparation of thematic base maps for coastal monitoring.

Aims and Objectives

The Lectures will tentatively cover the following topics:

  • To Provide an introduction to GIS for marine applications
  • Utilization of open source spatial data
  • To provide hands on GIS applications pertaining to coastal zones (Erosion, Mangrove, Coral Reef) using open source GIS tools
  • Generation of thematic map

Learning Outcomes

  • Knowledge on understanding of spatial data: raster and vector models
  • Core tasks involved in the GIS analysis process including data acquisition, management, manipulation and analysis, and presentation and output
  • Use of QGIS, GRASS tools and Plug-in tools
  • Creating and editing spatial data
  • Basic understanding of coastal and marine GIS data applications

Target Audience

Target audiences include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Postgraduate students of Earth Sciences using RS & GIS.
  • Staff and researchers working on marine GIS applications
  • University graduates and Researchers using RS & GIS.

Course Pre-requisites :

  • Candidates should have a working knowledge of marine data and formats and preferably be working in institution which is responsible for the management of marine data
  • This training course is not an introduction to GIS so candidates are expected to have some previous experience in the use of GIS
  • Working knowledge of English.
  • Participants should preferably bring their own laptops.
