Course description
The course expands on Introduction to GIS, Part 1, to deepen and broaden understanding of GIS methods. The course focuses on advanced GIS methods, including raster analysis, digital terrain modeling, editing GIS data, 3D presentation and network analysis. The course's technical basis is provided by ArcGIS 10 software and its extensions: Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, Network Analyst and ArcScene.

1.2. Surface representation with raster and with Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN)
1.4. Digital terrain modeling
1.5. Presentation of surface data
1.6. Surface construction and editing
1.7. Advanced methods of 3D analysis
2. GIS data management
2.1. Geodatabase – definition and structure
2.2. Raster and vector data projections and formatting
2.3. Coverage and topological correctness of data
3. Network analysis
