CourseDetails
• Advanced GIS Analysis: In this unit, students will explore advanced spatial analysis techniques using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to model and analyze wildlife corridor mapping. This includes using raster and vector data, spatial statistics, and 3D analysis.
• Wildlife Habitat Modeling: Students will learn to create and interpret habitat models for various wildlife species, incorporating data on land cover, topography, and other environmental factors. This unit will also cover species distribution modeling and predictive mapping.
• Corridor Connectivity and Fragmentation: This unit will examine the impact of habitat fragmentation on wildlife populations and the role of corridors in maintaining connectivity. Students will learn to assess the effectiveness of different corridor designs and management strategies.
• Geodatabase Design and Management: In this unit, students will learn to design and manage geodatabases for storing and analyzing wildlife corridor data. This includes creating relational models, managing attribute and spatial data, and implementing quality control measures.
• Remote Sensing for Wildlife Corridor Mapping: Students will explore the use of remote sensing technologies, such as satellite imagery and LiDAR, for mapping wildlife corridors. This unit will cover image processing, feature extraction, and accuracy assessment.
• GIS Software and Tools: This unit will introduce students to advanced GIS software and tools for wildlife corridor mapping, such as ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and R. Students will learn to use these tools for data analysis, visualization, and automation.
• Wildlife Corridor Planning and Implementation: This unit will cover the practical aspects of planning and implementing wildlife corridor projects, including stakeholder engagement, regulatory requirements, and monitoring and evaluation.
• Spatial Data Integration and Interoperability: Students will learn to integrate and exchange spatial data from different sources, ensuring interoperability and compatibility. This unit will cover data standards, APIs, and web services.
• GIS for Conservation and Biodiversity: This unit will explore the broader application of GIS in conservation and biodiversity, including habitat restoration, species monitoring, and protected area planning.
