"The Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (M-GEO) is a two-year academic curriculum at MSc level, taught fully in English, dedicated to understanding the earth’s systems from a geographic and spatial perspective. The field of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation has, in recent years, witnessed fast scientific and technological developments. As a result, geographic information has become a vital asset to society and part of our daily life. The ubiquitous production and availability of spatial data require cloud computing and new technology to turn the increasing volume of ‘big data’ to good use. The growing range of global challenges, from climate change and resource depletion to environmental pollution and pandemic diseases, that our society and in particular the more vulnerable populations on our planet are facing, increases the demand for academic professionals who have the ability, attitudes and skills to design solutions that are sustainable, transdisciplinary and innovative with positive societal impacts. Our education focuses on addressing these global problems by means of advanced geo-information and earth observation applications."@en .

"The student should expect a course that aims to bring professional and scientific skills in computational work with geospatial data. Short but intensive lectures bring the theoretical background, which is separately examined. Extensive practicals aim for the student to learn alone but also together and to share with peers in what is learned; students will be asked to explain their problems and solutions in the practical sessions. These practicals prepare for a batch of skills tests that each student executes individually during the course. A final skills test is executed at course end.\n\nIn the post-covid19 era, we may continue to see specific requirements and conditions for education. These may impact opportunities for face-to-face exchange, which appears especially relevant for practicals supervision. We will try find ways that allow optimal exchange and discussion between supervisors and students."@en . "The course is likely to see entrants with different levels of understanding and skills in the computational (scripting/coding) domain. Its design assumes no previous scripting/coding experience, but having such will generally help. ,Sufficient understanding of the spatial data models (simple vector features, raster images) and their elements and spatial data operations as covered in the Core courses Geo-information Science and Modelling, Earth Observation and Data Integration.\n\nThe course is likely to see entrants with different levels of understanding and skills in the computational (scripting/coding) domain.

"In this course, the student learns to develop algorithmic solutions to geospatial problems. Turn-key software systems for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation are functionally powerful but have no instant solution to each geospatial problem that may arise. The ability to construct custom solutions is an essential capability of the Geoinformatics specialist, who should have competence in addressing geospatial problems by algorithmic solutions.\n\nYou specifically learn about solution strategies, high-level solution descriptions and translations of these into an implementation in some programming language. The course’s programming language will be Python, but throughout the Geoinformatics specialization, you will learn to implement your algorithms using also other programming/scripting languages/environments.\n\nDissemination of code output is important and so we will make an excursion into the visualization of scientific outputs such as charts and maps, and web programming also.\n\nWe will discuss the scientific side of programming by an introduction into literate programming, which emphasizes documentation of code and the FAIR principles of scientific data management, which apply to data and code. We emphasize the role of data in geospatial algorithms, as these are often data-intensive. By reviewing and developing (high-level) code, you will increase your understanding of basic concepts in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation."@en . "Scientific Geocomputing"@en .
