This course provides the tools for managing spatial data and remotely sensed imagery to extract further meaning (intelligence). Along with the units on geographic information systems and remote sensing, it is packaged with map design, habitat and landform mapping, data management, programming, drone mapping and applications, and photogrammetry and visualization ensuring a well-rounded exposure to key areas. Case studies focus on location-based issues embedded in a range of different disciplines, including biodiversity, agriculture, urban planning, mining, defence, and emergency services.
