Lecturer:

Miroslav Bauer, Josef Krása

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Landscape Water Conservation

Synopsis:

The subject is focussed on applied GIS project in Landscape protection. Using raster based GIS analyses the students model soil erosion and sediment transport in a spatially distributed way and design protection measures against erosion. Verification study is included.
