- Description/content
- Geodesy and Geoinformatics (specialisation in "Remote Sensing and GIS") is a geoscience subject mainly based on computer science, image processing, geoinformatics and artificial intelligence. Typical topics of the course include sustainable and responsible solutions of one of the central future tasks of our society: to derive conclusive options for action for the sustainable development of our environment by observing and monitoring the earth as a whole.
By combining image and geodata analysis, positioning and communication, information can be provided virtually in real time, which is made available in a geoinformation system (GIS), containing also in-situ and additional information, for further processing and visualisation. The results create an essential basis for decision-making on issues relating to agriculture and forestry, environmental protection, the Earth system, for example, for measures in the context of climate change, as well as sustainable development, disaster control, civil security and many other socially relevant areas.
In the "Remote Sensing and GIS" specialisation, you will deepen your knowledge of the various techniques of image-based earth observation, data analysis, evaluation and presentation using geoinformation systems.
