Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students will learn on theory and techniques of spatial analysis in the context of studies of space-time phenomena. With spatial analysis, it is possible to reveal and describe existing patterns in geographic data, as well as establish relationships between georeferenced data and the studied phenomena.

At the end of the course, the student should be able to establish procedures that allow them to describe the importance and contribution of each data in the study of physical-geographical processes and to analyse, interpret, and evaluate the interactions and their effect on societal systems.

Classes will include expository lectures, recommended reading, and practical exercises.

Assessment and permitted materials
