Course Objective

Search for Geological Resources, evaluation of hazards, environmental impact and site selection studies also require the simultaneous appraisal of spatial data from several sources. Some earthscience applications of GIS that could be used to illustrate GIS methodology are; hazard mapping related to slope stability and landslides, earthquake damage zonation, coastal erosion, site selection for engineering projects such as settlement suitability, waste disposal (municipal landfills, nuclear waste in disposal wells), pipeline route and railway routing, dams, resource evaluation for a variety of geological commodities such as sand, gravel, building stone and geothermal.
