Spatial Geoscience Data Analysis is designed to introduce the visualisation and analysis of sub-surface geoscience data through computer aided mapping, cartographic packages, statistical analysis and mapping and visualisation of multi-format data. Problem solving through a variety of datasets, including geophysical data acquisition, analysis and interpretation enables the use of equipment and techniques that are at the forefront of professional practice. Throughout the course, industry standard software and methodologies will be used in order to simulate real world situations.
Any reading lists will be provided by the start of the course.
