OTGA-INCOIS Training Course
on
"Coastal Vulnerability Mapping and analysis using QGIS"
during November 25-29, 2024.
Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean)
ESSO-INCOIS, Hyderabad, India
Geospatial science provides vital information on the sustainable use of the coastal resource and planning. It an imperative use such techniques for managing densely populated coastal environs. This course provides an overview of GIS applications pertaining to coastal vulnerability and analysis. It will provide the basic GIS mapping techniques on storm surge vulnerability, and its socio-economic impact using open source GIS tools. Course also includes data acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation of coastal spatial data. In addition, extensive hands on sessions will be conducted to use tools for preparation of thematic base maps for coastal vulnerability due to Tsunamis, Storm surges and their impact.
Target audiences include, but are not limited to, the following:
A certificate of participation will be issued to all successful students (90% attendance to the classroom course mandatory).
The UNESCO/IOC Project Office for IODE is certified as a Learning Services Provider (ISO 29990:2010).
