"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 .
