Geographical information systems

With this course, the objective is to get familiar with Geographical information systems (GIS) and to understand and use their fundamental tools, as well as the possibilities GIS offer and their limits. For this, the open-source software QGIS will be used, and real data from various sources representative of the transverse nature of these tools will be analysed, with particular emphasis on the environment. This course is shared with: Master SOAC (M1); Master RisE / Water & Wind engineering (M1).
