The Geospatial Modelling and Application Studio aims to equip students with analytical and modelling skills essential for addressing real-world challenges. Geospatial models play a crucial role across various GIS applications, making it imperative for students to grasp their functionality effectively.
Within this studio, students will delve into thematic areas such as urban sprawl, location intelligence, and environmental issues, among others. Each thematic area will involve the utilization of geospatial models to tackle specific problems. Throughout the course, students will gain insights into the fundamental principles of geospatial modelling, including trend and pattern analysis, preparation of model input layers, and interpretation of outputs.
Furthermore, students will learn to evaluate model performance using established datasets and refine model structures to enhance problem-solving capabilities within the GIS environment. By the end of the studio, students will have the ability to simulate spatial processes confidently using geospatial models, thereby empowering them to address complex spatial challenges effectively.
