  • GIScience: Theory and Concepts

    GIScience or Geographic Information Science is a a multidisciplinary field that utilizes spatial data analysis and technology to understand and solve complex geographic problems. GIScience provides the conceptual and theoretical foundation for Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIScience focuses on the theories, methods, and principles behind spatial data analysis, while GIS is the practical application of…

  • Interdisciplinary Project: Application Development

    The interdisciplinary project ‚Application Development‘ was a group project of up to three students aimed at incorporating the gained knowledge in software development, spatial analysis skills, and project management to create a new geo-application. The course was split in two parts. The first part was dedicated to develop a mobile web app using geo-browser APIs,…

  • Spatial Simulation

    The course ‚Spatial Simulation‘ was focused on applying concepts and methods introduced in the course ‚Modelling Geographical Systems‘ and to experiment with selected types of Spatial Simulation models to get an understanding of the complexity of such modelling processes. The main focus was put on the implementation of agent-based models and cellular automata, as both…
