The equivalent of 120 credits 60 credits within one of the following subjects - forestry science - forest science - forest management - forest and wood engineering - biology 5 credits within geographic information systems (GIS) English 6. The aim of the course is to give the student in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience of spatial analysis and modelling to address issues of forestry and forest ecosystems, and how the accuracy of the input data affects the outcome of analyses and models. independently carry out an advanced GIS project that models a process or a scenario In this course, students carry out their own project. The student will learn how to break down a problem and how to structure the work in project form and then carry out the project and finish it with a report and a presentation. During the course, the student will be required to read articles in related fields and discuss these in small groups with other students. The focus is on accuracy in spatial data and how this affects analyses and models.
