Generic objective - acquisition of theoretical concepts and applications of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing in the agroforestry area.

The student should acquire knowledge, skills and competences (at the level of the agricultural parcel):

1. in the field handling of GNSS (intelligent surveys and sampling of soil, plants, etc.);

2. Geographic Information Technology (GIS) and the ability to integrate spatial data in different formats;

3. the ability to structure spatial databases as models of reality;

4. the application of spatial analysis functions in a GIS, from the perspective of support for agronomic decision making;

5. the use of structured search languages and map algebra;

6. the application of several techniques of remote sensing at different scales for land surface analysis, namely interpreting and identifying morphological and texture characteristics in the vegetation cover and estimating parameters at vegetative vigor level).
