Gis For Natural Resource Management Seminar
Introduction
INTRODUCTION
As natural resource managers—biologists, botanists, ecologists, environmentalregulators, hydrologists, planners, miners, petroleum engineers, foresters, andfarmers—you rely on the analytical power of GIS for help in making criticaldecisions as you manage the earth's resources.
Thereis no simple answer to our environmental and natural resource concerns, butwhether you are restoring habitats, planting crops, drilling for oil, ormonitoring endangered species there is increasing optimism that the applicationof GIS tools will help us become a more sustainable planet.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course the participants will be able to:
· Collect, interpret, and manage spatial information usingremote sensing and information systems
· Support planning and decision making processes in naturalresource management using the information acquired.
· Understand geo information in relation to natural resourcemanagement.
DURATION
5 days
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Biologists, botanists, ecologists, Foresters, NGOstaff, Government officials in environment and conservation, environmentalregulators, hydrologists, planners, miners, petroleum engineers, foresters, andfarmers.
COURSE CONTENT
· Introduction to GIS and Remote sensing and in NaturalResource Management (NRM)
· Collection of GIS data for NRM
· Analysis of the data collected
· Ground verification of data
· Application of GIS on:
Watershed management
Desertification
Determination of soil types and moisture content
Land use analysis using GIS
Slope information identification and analysis
Application of GIS in Biodiversity Management
