Introduction to Remote Sensing and GIS with Numericals and Project Ideas
This open-access short-term course introduces students and researchers to the fundamentals of GIS and Remote Sensing with hands-on digitization tutorials, practical numericals, and real-world environmental case studies — all freely accessible via embedded links.
The course is organized into 3 focused sections covering 18 modules:
-
🗺️ GIS Fundamentals & Digitization — Terminologies, coordinate systems, and a six-part step-by-step digitization series using QGIS/GIS tools
-
📍 GIS Numericals & Practical Applications — Applied examples including hydropower penstock digitization and water pipeline leak detection using GIS
-
🛰️ Remote Sensing Case Studies — Real internship-based case studies on coastal zone vulnerability analysis, wetlands risk assessment, spatial predictive modelling, and environmental impact studies
