This course introduces students to the core principles and practical applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using ArcGIS Pro, the leading desktop GIS platform. Students will gain hands-on experience in managing spatial data, creating advanced 2D, 3D, and 4D visualisations, and performing spatial analyses relevant to environmental and water-related fields. Emphasis is placed on GIS as a decision-support tool in hydrology and geography, with a focus on real-world problem-solving and data sharing across the ArcGIS ecosystem. The course combines theoretical concepts with practical exercises to build proficiency in using GIS for hydrological and spatial analysis.
