Introduction to remote sensing and GIS for ecological applications 
(IRMS01)

https://www.prinformatics.com/course/introduction-to-remote-sensing-and-gis-for-ecological-applications-irms01/

This course will be delivered by Prof. Duccio Rocchini and Dr. Luca 
Delucchi from the 21st – 25th May 2018 in Glasgow City Centre.

This course is aimed at anyone using remote sense (RS) data, for example 
those in the field of landscape genetics/genomics and will give a full 
overview of RS from an introductory level.

Course Overview:
The course will deal with different aspects related to the use of remote 
sensing and GIS in spatial ecology by using the Free and Open Source 
Software GRASS GIS coupled with R. By the end of this 5-day practical 
course, attendees will have the capacity to deal with ecological 
patterns and processes by using GIS and remote sensing algorithms. The 
increasing availability of open ecological and geographical data through 
networks such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, 
http://www.gbif.org) or the Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) 
federated data archive (http://www.dataone.org) makes it increasingly 
possible to test cutting-edge ecological theories. In using a shared 
open-source code for testing these ecological theories, researchers can 
be sure that their results are reliable and also that the code they have 
used is robust. Attendees will be able to process spatial and ecological 
data by free and open source algorithms. The course will be mainly 
practical, but grounded on robust theory. All the analyses will be 
performed in GRASS GIS and the code will be shared with attendees.
