By focusing on computational approaches to working with geospatial data, you will continue and deepen your understanding of classical GIS workflows.

You will primarily use R as the scripting environment, drawing on your existing programming experience. Script-based workflows are complemented by graphical GIS tools to support the exploration, analysis, and visualization of spatial data. In addition, we will leverage AI and large language models (LLMs) as supporting tools for geospatial problem-solving, coding, and analytical reasoning.

Through emphasizing applied, problem-oriented learning, you will be prepared to handle complex geospatial tasks in environmental and spatial analysis contexts.
