Geographical Information Systems 2

The second part of the course deals with spatial analysis methods and georeferenced information representation techniques. In particular, you will learn how to:

• Analyze the spatial properties of discrete variables, for example by quantifying spatial autocorrelation;
• Work with continuous variables (sampling, interpolation and construction of isolines)
• Use digital elevation models (DEMs) and their derivatives (slope, orientation, etc.);
• Use geodata superposition techniques;
• Produce cartographic documents according to the rules of the semiology of graphics;
• Explore other forms of spatial representation (interactive cartography on the internet, 3D representations, and augmented reality).
