Course Description:
ERTH3000 Habitat and Landform Mapping is a practical, skills based class in which students use geospatial technology along side terrestrial and marine survey techniques to interprete and reconstruct land and seascapes, as well as map terrestrial and marine environments to detect environmental change. Students will examine ways in which spatial patterns can be visualised using cartographic and GIS tools, to then explain the relationships between geology, geomprphology, habitats and communities, on both temporal and spatial scales. The practical component will include GPS field mapping, air photo analysis of marine and terrestrial landforms and associated habitats. Students will become proficient cartographic and spatial data analysis though the use of ArcMap Software.
