Applied Remote Sensing and GIS for Real-World Problem Solving

Geospatial data is critical for solving complex environmental, urban, and scientific challenges. This text-based course guides you from the fundamental principles of geographic information systems (GIS) to practical spatial analysis. You will learn how to interpret satellite imagery, manage diverse spatial datasets, and make data-driven decisions. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently handle coordinate systems, analyze elevation models, and evaluate the accuracy of spatial data for real-world applications. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational GIS concepts, coordinate reference systems, and remote sensing terminology - Perform advanced vector and raster analysis to solve geographical problems - Process and interpret elevation data, digital terrain models, and point coordinates - Evaluate and improve spatial data accuracy and resolve common alignment errors - Manage and organize complex geospatial databases using modern data management workflows - Apply remote sensing techniques to analyze satellite imagery and detect environmental changes This course starts with essential terms and foundational concepts before moving into practical workflow scenarios and analysis techniques. It is designed for beginners, environmental professionals, and students who want to build a solid foundation in spatial analysis without needing prior GIS experience.
