Om emnet
NOTE: This course is taught in Tromsø and requires admission to Landscape arrchitecture studies on master`s level.
Combined theory and practical course with a focus on digital resources to use in studies of landscape and larger territories.
The course gives insight to theory and technology behind central digital resources and knowledge of their practical application within different fields, including how they can be applied innovatively within landscape architecture.
The course will, among others, give knowledge of remotesensingas a technology, and practical training in the application of LIDAR for surveying terrain and vegetation and GIS for the simulation of wind and water flow.
