The GISC is pleased to welcome, as a visiting scholar, Prof. Robert Weibel from the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich. Prof. Weibel has agreed to present both a seminar and a workshop in April which will be of interest to many in the UCB GIS community. If you have any questions about the prerequisites, feel free to contact the instructor at the email address or phone number given above.
Space is limited, so pre-registration is required.
Topography is a major factor in the explanation of many spatial phenomena and the management of natural resources. Topography also plays a major role in the man-made environment and is of vital interest to fields such as civil engineering, planning, or flight simulation. That is, rather than reviewing the diverse applications of terrain modeling, we will explore the techniques that stand behind this important activity of GIScience. However, ample illustrations and examples will be provided to link the techniques back to relevant associated application areas. The course will note feature lab exercises, but demos will be given.
