Syllabus

WEEK 1
¿Qué es, cómo es y para qué sirve la información geográfica?
Te damos la bienvenida al módulo 1 de nuestro curso. En este módulo respondemos a las preguntas ¿Qué es, cómo es y para qué sirve la información geográfica? Para ello nos centramos en aprender sobre la potencia de la información geográfica, el marco de referencia geográfico y el modelaje y representación de la información geográfica.

WEEK 2
¿Qué podemos hacer con la información geográfica?
Bienvenido al segundo módulo del curso. En este módulo responderemos a la pregunta ¿Qué podemos hacer con la información geográfica? Para ellos nos centraremos en estudiar cuatro temas principales: El análisis espacial y cuáles SIG hay disponibles, las operaciones básicas y el uso de análisis espacial y aprenderemos cómo resolver problemas espaciales más complejos mediante el modelamiento cartográfico.

WEEK 3
Cambio climático y mal de Chagas en Colombia
Te damos la bienvenida al tercer módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en aprender acerca del cambio climático y el mal de Chagas, muy conocido en Colombia. Para ello, avanzaremos en tres temas principales: cómo preparar la información geográfica en temas de salud humana y el cambio climático, ubicaremos dónde está el mal de Chagas en Colombia como caso de estudio, y reflexionaremos sobre condiciones del futuro para mapear el mal de Chagas, como análisis de un caso. 

WEEK 4
Observación de la Tierra con sensores remotos
Te damos la bienvenida al cuarto y último módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en el tema de la observación de la tierra con sensores remotos. Para ello entenderemos y trabajaremos con los cubos de datos y realizaremos nuestra actividad de proyecto final.
