Mobile and web management of environmental data
31 March - 25 April - Teaching Unit #3
Update : 06/20/2024
Objectives
To provide decision support at different level (local, national, regional and international) environmental data and land use information must be available for many different activities and stakeholders. Sharing and dissemination of environmental data is therefore a challenging issue which largely relies on web and mobile technologies. The first goal of this teaching unit is to provide with the student an overview as well as a description of the main technologies available to tackle the issue of dissemination of environmental data. The second goal is to involve the student in a project management aiming at applying these technologies to real environmental project with collecting platforms (crowd-sourcing, sensor networks, and so on) and dissemination of information. Spatial data like maps and remote sensing image will be the core of the project.
