SDG Monitoring in Germany and Equador with remote sensing and GIS, Part 1/2 (block course), WS 2022/23, 27.-31.3. 2023, 9-16 h, room tba Mandatory preparatory session: date and room tba Mandatory final presentation day: date and room tba Driven by technological advances and large-scale missions, satellite-based Earth Observation and Geographic Information Systems are currently undergoing a revolutionary development that is giving rise to new methods, products and insights in sustainability science and contributing to inter- to transdisciplinary academic research. They range from the analysis of urban as well as rural areas, to the observation of long-term land use modifications and conversions, to the short-term assessment of natural hazards such as droughts and floods. In combination with socio-economic data, it is also possible to assess population groups in different regions of the world. Here, by integrating census and household data, the actual risk from factors favored by global change can be measured. The use of new and innovative methods of remote sensing and GIS will be adapted by students from both countries and various disciplines, learning to deal with complex data, to understand and discuss actual transformation processes of complex coupled socio-ecological systems and the dilemma of long-term decision making by the involved political/national actors. The Winter School is conducted by researchers from Geosciences, Civil and Environmental Engineering and the institute for peace and conflict studies carrying out research on the world risk report. Part 1: self-study on theoretical background followed up by a 5-day block course (winter school) in Mar 2023 with discussions, hands-on tutorials, presentations and the preparation of the group work by developing an own research idea. Part 2 : Project implementation (group work) and presentation of results during 6-8 weeks after the winter school: the international and interdisciplinary student groups develop their research projects along creating a story map. The group work is accompagnied by coaching units in contact time. Finally, the projects (story maps) will be presented and discussed in a public session. |
| Lernziele |
Having successfully passed the winter school the students • have fundamental knowledge of principles of GIS and remote sensing • have fundamental knowledge of principles of SDG monitoring platforms and their application (drivers, effects and measures) ; • are familiar with innovative monitoring projects and complex project set-ups: public-private partnership, innovative institutional structures, sustainable planning • can estimate the impacts of land use and land cover change on the coupled human environment system and urban-rural interactions, energy fluxes, considering issues like mobility, climate change, CO2 emissions, exposure to floods and other types of hazards. • are able to extract thematic spatio-temporal information from the analysis of remote sensing, cadastral and crowd sourced data • are able to visualize the results through a combination of static and dynamic supports • know the limitations of methodological approaches embedded in current software and theoretical definitions of key concepts underlying urban expansion • understand the difficulty of embedding spatial technology into policy plans and action |
