This module introduces the 3D functions of ArcGIS. The focus is on creating 3D scenes, performing 3D GIS analyses and publishing content in ArcGIS Online. The configuration of a web scene is also covered and finally a 3D web application is created and made accessible to others.

This course introduces the concepts and techniques of interactive 2D and 3D cartography and web application development. Practical experience is gained through a map project.

Independent scholarly piece based on up-to-date papers, text books, and internet sources.The thematic topic will be defined together with the supervision in the beginning.

This module teaches the basics, tools and practical applications in the field of data management in geodata infrastructures (GDI). The focus is on model-based structure conversion. INTERLIS is explained as a system-independent method and expanded by looking at other languages, formats and standards.

GIS methods and processes represent the basic strategies and processing steps used within a GIS workflow to model, capture, manage, analyze, and visualize geodata. The GIS workflow is a systematic approach that ensures that geospatial data is used effectively to solve problems in various application domains.

In the GIS -Project, participants work in a team on a current problem according to the GIS workflow, which includes modelling, data acquisition, management, analysis and visualization of geodata. Project management is also used to control the project. At the end of the course, participants will be able to plan, implement and present complex GIS projects independently.

The course deals with advanced methods in spatial data analysis.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system for collecting, managing, analyzing and visualizing spatial data (geodata). This module teaches the fundamental concepts and principles necessary for a comprehensive understanding and effective application of GIS technologies.
