Applied Remote Sensing and GIS for Landscape Analysis

About this programme

The course covers theory and applications of spatial analysis, modeling and visualization in landscape analysis, using remote sensing and GIS. During the course students are trained in software familiarization and methods for processing and visualization in scientific work. This knowledge is much sought after in the workplace with our alumni working in local government, agencies and consultancies. The course is part of Master's Programme in Geomatics with Remote Sensing and GIS (period A–B) and Master's Programme in Landscape Ecology (period A–B). The course can also be read as a separate course. As a student you must be conscientious about clearly accounting for the material used in the texts that are submitted for examination. To use another person’s expressions or ideas without stating the source is plagiarism. To translate and/or change some words in someone else’s text and present it as your own is also a form of plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered cheating and if discovered in an exam or paper, the exam or paper will be failed immediately and disciplinary measures may be taken. Any student who is caught cheating or disrupting academic activities may be suspended from lectures and exams for a period of up to six months. The Vice Chancellor or the Disciplinary Council decide whether the student is to be subject to any disciplinary measures. The link to Stockholm University's guidelines for disciplinary matters and expulsion can be found on the website: We are several persons working with study administration and study counselling.
