"The course mainly consists of a mix of lectures, practicals and self-study time. Main topics' concepts and theory are briefly introduced through lectures which are usually scheduled in the morning. The subsequent practicals provide an illustration of the introduced concepts to increase understanding and also allow participants to develop practical skills. They consist of a supervised part, to help participants to start up practical activities and to discuss the intermediate results, and an unsupervised part for self-directed learning and skills development. Topics are usually finalised with plenary wrap-up sessions in the afternoon in which conceptual and practical issues that emerged from the lecture and practical are dealt with. Questions which arise at other later moments can be issued to the online discussion fora. Fellow students are encouraged to help solving the issues with moderation of the responsible lecturer.\n\nOver time the practical instructions become less instructive and more task oriented, thus requiring a more active and self-supporting attitude from participants. This also helps to prepare for the planning and execution of the project assignments that you will carry out later on in the programme at ITC. Most pratical exercises will have a generic nature with specific instructions for QGIS. Alternatives can be available for ArcGIS and ERDAS."@en . . . . . .

"Geo-Information Systems and Science (GIS) and Earth Observation by Remote Sensing (RS) are among the main focus areas of the Faculty ITC. We concentrate on the underlying geospatial concepts that contribute to the development of technological innovations. With the help of GIS and RS we also increase our understanding of aspects of system Earth. GIS and RS help us in making contributions to solutions for global challenges, such as the dealing with effects of climate change and rapid urbanisation, and the need for a more sustainable use of our resources.\n\nThis first quartile (entitled 'GIS and RS for Geospatial Problem Solving') of your study programme at ITC consists of three interrelated courses. In these courses we aim to provide you with a general understanding about GIS and RS principles, and with hands-on experience in using software tools for handling and processing geospatial data. Apart from the geo-technological focus, the courses also challenge you in developing an attitude of using GIS and RS in dealing with geospatial problems and answering geospatial questions related to real world problems and challenges. The three courses will take you through the main stages of a geospatial problem solving cycle: from the identification of a geospatial problem and associated questions, via the acquisition, management and exploration of maps, images and other geospatial data, to the analysis and processing of images and spatial data, and eventually to the generation and communication of geospatial information needed for answering the geospatial questions."@en .

"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 .

"1"^^ . "This two-week intensive course provides an advanced understanding in the assessment of dynamic risk for multi-hazards from hydro-meteorological and geological origin (e.g. landslides, floods, earthquakes). The main focus of the course is on the quantitative analysis of how risk changes, and how information on changing risk is used in decision making for disaster risk reduction. Risk can change gradually due to changing land use, population growth, and climate change. Risk can also change abruptly due to the occurrence of disaster events, that change the environmental and socioeconomic conditions completely. We look at various methods for risk assessment, ranging from qualitative methods based on Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation, through semi-quantitative methods based on exposure modelling, to quantitative risk assessment using hazard intensity, frequency, exposure and physical vulnerability, depending on the data availability and objectives of the study. In order to evaluate changing risk we need to analyse also how hazard changes, and how elements-at-risk (buildings, population, transportation infrastructure etc.) change in terms of location and vulnerability. In order to evaluate optimal risk reduction alternatives (structural and non-structural) risk reduction is calculated and costs-and benefits are evaluated. Stakeholder views regarding the various alternatives are also considered using a Spatial Multi-Criteria Approach.\n\nThis course is offered both as elective course for second-year MSc students, and as short course, for external course participants. "@en .
