(objectives)
The main objective of the course is to provide knowledge of methods and tools for spatial observation and analysis by providing advanced knowledge related to Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing and spatial analysis of spatial data. The student will acquire specific skills related to the acquisition of georeferenced data available from major databases (such as AD ES. national geoportal, ISTAT database; Copernicus; regional WEB GIS, etc.), the analysis and processing of these data and the production of georeferenced data from monitoring or derived from spatial analysis. The course is aimed at developing analysis skills at the spatial scale with the objective of proposing technical application solutions. At the end of the course, the student will know the basic elements of cartography and digital cartographic representation; he/she will be able to make thematic maps related to the elements of the territory, will be able to conduct spatial analysis of different phenomena, and will be able to create a cartographic project. He/she will have acquired skills in the use of GIS software and in the use of remote sensing images for spatial analysis. The student will be expected to produce an examination paper applying the acquired knowledge by conducting part of the work independently and part in a group to promote learning skills and to foster the ability to work autonomously.

(syllabus)
Teaching is divided into a theoretical part and an applied part aimed at developing a cartographic project work. Basic elements of classical cartography (Definitions, properties, scale, projections, reference systems, symbology, types of maps, etc.). Basic elements of numerical cartography (Structure of GIS, geographic data representation models, geodatabases) Forms of cartographic representation (cartograms with GIS and overlaying operations: exercises Acquisition of spatial data: a. Basic functions (digitization and photointerpretation, georeferencing operations); b. Advanced functions (spatialization and interpolation operations, remote sensing images) Cartographic representation as a form of visual communication and decision support Analysis and processing of spatial data. Insights into specific topics and procedures for carrying out project work to be defined annually

(objectives)
The main objective is to provide the knowledges to understand the characteristics and spatial variability of soils, for proper site-specific management of the soil in agriculture. The basics of soil chemistry, physics, and hydrology, as well as pedogenetic factors and processes will be provided, so the student will learn to understand the soil within the landscape. The student will learn digital soil mapping techniques using GIS software and the use of innovative techniques for soil monitoring and mapping, in particular the use of proximal sensors such as electromagnetic induction and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
