More info: AthanasiosVotsisathanasios.votsis@helsinki.fi 04.09.-16.10.12 Tuesdays 12.15-15.00 at A113, Physicum building Objectives: This is a hands-on course, aimed at introducing to the student basic concepts and methods in applied spatial statistics and spatial analysis. We will be focusing on environmental and economic research problems, and use ArcGIS, R, and GeoDa. The course is relevant to students of geography, environmental science, and economics. Some familiarity with basic concepts of multivariate statistics and GIS is desired. By the end of the course students will be familiar and able to work with spatial dependence and heterogeneity, global and local spatial autocorrelation, spatial regressions, and the corresponding statistical tests for arriving at the optimal regression specification. Evaluation Attend the 6 practicals and prepare a final report combining the individual work of each practical. Credits: 3

  8. 562820 Raster GIS in environmental studies (5 cr.) PRELIMINARY KNOWLEDGE: fairly good GIS skills. Basic knowledge in Excel, Access and SPSS are appreciated. REGISTRATION for EXCHANGE students: emailto mika.siljander@helsinki.fi COURSE DESCRIPTION: The aim of Raster GIS course is to learn how GIS and Remote sensing techniques are used in environmental studies. Software used in this course: ArcGIS 10, MS Excel and Access; SPSS (PASW Statistics) 18; Maxent COURSE AIMS AND MAIN THEMES: Students should achieve knowledge how to process and use Raster GIS and Remote sensing data in environmental studies and how to create and handle GIS-databases. Basics of spatial statistics and spatial modeling are also learned. TO PASS THE COURSE: No exam; write a final report Grading: 1 to 5
