Advanced Geo-informatics is the follow on module for any student who has taken Geographic Information Systems (SCS83720-2). This module will further develop skills, analytical techniques and knowledge using Geographic Information Systems. Examples of advanced analysis may include network analysis, interpolation and surface analysis, geo-statistics, 3D analysis, 3D visualisation, scripting and interface design, geo-demographics, issues surrounding large scale GIS database deployment in organisations. These skills will be demonstrated through a project-based assessment allowing the student to apply what they have learnt to a specific geo-informatics issue / problem-based scenario.
