EO4Alps Summer School, June 24 – July 6, 2018l

“Earth observation and geospatial information: supporting a sustainable use of alpine ecosystems and water resources” The EO4Alps Summer School 2018 is jointly organized by University of Salzburg, Department of Geoinformatics (Z_GIS, www.zgis.at) and the Group on Earth Observations (GEO, www.earthobservations.org) and will be held in Salzburg, Austria, June 24 – July 6, 2018. Alpine areas show high spatial variability due to complex terrains, steep vertical gradients in climate elements, and inhomogeneity induced by transitions between vegetation zones and to the cryosphere. The resulting patterns of climate and climate change are often highly complex and very demanding in terms of monitoring, modelling, and …

UNIGIS Professional Intro Workshop

A new group of UNIGIS Professional students gathered for getting to know each other and the local UNIGIS team in Salzburg last weekend. Again, it was a great opportunity to witness the integrative power and relevance of GIS. The new students have such diverse backgrounds, which range from forestry over crime scene forensics to the real estate business. However, all students are convinced that their career can be boosted by spatializing their respective expertise. We are glad to support this goal at UNIGIS. In the next months these students will not only work through learning materials. Neither will they simply learn …
