The Project Applied Methods in the Environmental Sciences
Applied Methods in the Environmental Sciences • Environmental Statistics (Statistical Programming) • Environmental data • Introduction into statistics and time series analysis • Spatial statistics – Geo-statistics • Data analysis and presentation tools • Environmental (Geographical) Information Systems • Spatial data – types and structures • Spatial data bases and how to use them • Grid based digital terrain analysis • GIS for hydrological modelling • 3.Environmental Modelling • Modelling in an environmental context • Model types and model building • Model procedures, calibration and validation techniques • Scenario techniques • Model uncertainties
Types DEM : Digital Elevation Model DSM : Digital Surface Model DTM : Digital Terrain Model Data Structure Raster TIN Digital Surface Models Steve Kopp, Dean Djokic ( ESRI), Al Rea (USGS)
