6 What s ITC all about? Introducing the University of Twente Integrating social and engineering sciences; developing high tech, with a human touch this is what the University of Twente (UT) is committed to, through teaching and research at the highest level, and through the innovations launched on the market by over 700 spin-off companies. The University offers degree programmes in fields ranging from engineering and natural sciences to behavioural and management sciences. UT provides an excellent learning environment within its six faculties: Education and Behavioural Sciences Engineering, Design and Applied Sciences Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation Information Technology Management and Governance Medical and Health Sciences For more information about the University of Twente On 1 January 2010, the International Institute of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) became a faculty of the University of Twente. The merger has been implemented in a way that preserves the distinctive character and mission of ITC. As a university faculty, ITC will be more firmly embedded in the Dutch academic education system. Furthermore, the integration with the University of Twente will lead to innovative research and education in areas such as energy, environment, climate change, water, geo-information and earth observation, and disaster management. The Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation One of humankind s greatest challenges is to achieve an appropriate balance between developing natural resources and maintaining an optimal natural environment. To meet this challenge, we need detailed and reliable geo-information and geo-information management tools. At the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), knowledge of geo-information management is readily available and is continually being developed and extended. ITC is engaged in three core activities: education, research and project services. By means of these activities, we contribute to capacity building in developing countries and countries in transition. It can be seen at a glance that our core activities will frequently touch and interact indeed must if ITC s exceptional in-house expertise is to be put to optimal use and consistently maintained at the forefront of technological development. At ITC, considerable attention is paid to the development and application of geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing tools for solving problems. Such problems can range from determining the risks of landslides, mapping forest fires, planning urban infrastructure and implementing land administration systems, to designing a good wildlife management system or detecting environmental pollution. The key words characterizing our activities are geo-information management, worldwide and innovative. We concentrate on earth observation, the generation of spatial information, and the development of data integration methods. Furthermore, we provide tools that can support the processes of planning and decision making for sustainable development and the alleviation of poverty in developing countries and countries in transition. More than 20,000 students from over 175 countries have followed ITC courses since With more than 60 years of extensive experience and a dedicated scientific staff with a wide range of expertise, ITC is one of the world s foremost professional training establishments in the field of geo-information science and earth observation.

7 5 UN Our Hope for Humankind Associated institution of UNU ITC is an associated institution of the United Nations University (UNU). The cooperation between ITC and UNU is directed at developing and carrying out a Joint Programme on Capacity Building in Disaster Management and in Land Administration, and at disseminating knowledge of these and directly related issues. The programme activities are accommodated in two schools: School for Disaster Geo-Information Management School for Land Administration Studies Both Schools offer courses in the degree, diploma and certificate programmes. For more information Remote sensing and GIS Remote sensing is the collection and analysis of scientific data about phenomena at, above or below the Earth s surface without coming into physical contact with them. There are a variety of ways of collecting such data, for example by using conventional aerial photography, radar, and airborne electronicscanning devices. And naturally satellites have been playing an increasingly significant role over the last few decades. Such remote sensing techniques and the images they produce can be used, for example, to monitor environmental changes and meteorological disturbances, determine the existence of certain mineral deposits, and detect the build-up of pressure along the faults in the Earth s crust. The uses are many and various and to some extent have already unobtrusively entered our daily lives. With such huge quantities of data involved, some help is needed at ground level. And this is where the geographical information systems (GIS) come in. Central to every GIS is the database, which stores the data on which the eventual output depends. The application of thess data to real-world problems is a function of the specific software designed to manipulate the data. The software enables the database to be accessed, transformed and manipulated for such purposes as studying trend patterns, examining environmental issues, or simulating the outcomes of project proposals or planning procedures. Skilled personnel with the appropriate expertise are needed to effectively manage the information and opportunities provided by these new technologies. Exciting prospects for those willing to take up the challenge.

8 6 Education at ITC Over the years, ITC has developed a wide selection of courses in its degree, diploma and certificate programmes in geoinformation science and earth observation. These courses are offered in the Netherlands, online and abroad by ITC itself or by ITC in collaboration with reputable qualified educational organizations (joint courses). Programmes in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation Degree programmes Master of Science (MSc) degree programme Master degree programme Diploma programmes Postgraduate diploma programme (PGD) Undergraduate diploma programme programmes programme and individual modules Distance programme Joint courses Graduate programme Origins and backgrounds of course participants The origins and backgrounds of ITC course participants have a significant influence on the educational processes. The majority of these participants are professionals in their respective fields, with prior academic training and (often) professional experience. Consequently, professional relevancy and problem orientation are important factors in designing ITC s training courses, with the emphasis on the application of concepts and skills. Our courses aim at providing in-depth study of a particular set of problems in developing countries and countries in transition. They attract young and midcareer professionals with an interest in developmentrelated issues. The origins and backgrounds of ITC course participants have a significant influence on the educational processes

9 education at itc 7 Workshops, case studies, project assignments and simulations are included to strengthen the practical nature of the course Programme structure ITC s degree and diploma programmes are divided into blocks, facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving for development purposes, and considerable emphasis is placed on remote sensing and GIS. The blocks vary in length and are divided into three-week modules. A module deals with one subject or related subjects. All blocks and appropriate modules are open to individual subscription, provided the applicant has the right entry level. Educational methods Workshops, case studies, project assignments and simulations are included to strengthen the practical nature of the courses. Study trips Excursions form an integral part of some teaching modules and provide participants with the opportunity to see relevant applications in the Netherlands, to be instructed in (ground) data acquisition, and to visit companies or government offices involved in geo-information and earth observation. Fieldwork is an option in most courses and is carried out in areas that reflect problems clearly related to the application domain. During fieldwork, course participants are responsible for a field data acquisition assignment - usually part of the Postgraduate final assignment, the Master individual final assignment, or the MSc research. Besides the direct input into assignments, fieldwork offers participants first-hand insight into current practices, as well as the opportunity to assess through ground verification and validation the impact and value (and limitations) of GIS and remote sensing technology. Study load and ECTS The European Union (EU) has developed a European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to allow easy comparison of the study loads of courses within Europe. ITC has adopted this system as a means of improving academic recognition for study abroad. The study load for each course is expressed in credits (ECs). The number of credits applicable is specified in the individual course descriptions. At ITC, 144 hours of study is equivalent to five ECs. Language of study English is the first language for both staff and students at ITC. Thus the language of instruction is English and all courseware is in English. Participants are obliged to fulfil the minimum requirements for English as specified in the admission requirements (page 61). Recognition of degrees Higher education in the Netherlands enjoys a worldwide reputation for high quality. This is achieved through a national system of regulation and quality assurance. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) is responsible for legislation pertaining to education. The Master and Master of Science degrees are formally recognized by the Ministry of OCW, based on accreditation of the programmes by the Netherlands-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO), and are listed in the Central Register of Higher Education Programmes (CROHO). Code of conduct ITC complies with certain minimum conditions that are laid down in a general code of conduct. This code of conduct is an initiative of institutions, independent educationrelated organizations and the Dutch government, and defines the values guiding those who recruit and educate international students. More information on the code of conduct can be found at Study, Study at ITC, Code of conduct.

If the number of applications is extremely high, the course may be offered again. Graduate programme Research leading to the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is pursued through registration in the ITC Graduate programme. The research topic of each PhD student constitutes a project under one of the 15 research themes of the ITC Research programme (see below). In this way the PhD student benefits from membership of a research team, as well as from receiving expert supervision and attending research-supporting advanced courses. Research leading to a PhD thesis at ITC normally takes about 3½ years. The doctoral degree is granted by the University of Twente, or by one of the other affiliated Dutch universities (Utrecht, Wageningen or Delft). The ITC Graduate programme also offers a limited possibility of internships for PhD students registered and graduating in an overseas university. Research themes Under each theme, research is carried out by a group led by one of ITC s professors. Each group typically comprises several expert staff members and a number of graduate students carrying out research for a PhD degree within the framework of the Graduate programme. MSc students are assigned to a research theme as apprentice researchers during their six-month thesis period. Furthermore, the outcome of research activities is used to update the education in both degree and non-degree (short) courses. The 15 research themes at ITC are: Biodiversity in fragmenting landscapes Carbon cycle and climate change Disaster management Earth systems science Food security and environmental sustainability Governance and integrated spatial assessment Informed multilevel governance of urban regions Land administration for informed governance Managing water scarcity Spatial data infrastructure technology Spatio-temporal data integration and visualization Stochastic methods for image mining and data quality Sustainable urban-regional dynamics Utilization of sensor developments for efficient topographic mapping Water cycle and climate More information For more information on the ITC Graduate programme (including how to apply) and the research themes, visit

In our daily life we are continuously confronted with situations that have a direct link with earth resources and related processes. The buildings in which we live and work are constructed of materials from the earth, the soil produces our daily food, and mineral resources provide fuel for transport and cooking. The course on Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Management analyses the processes within a landscape setting (and the drivers behind them) that lead to disasters. GIS and remote sensing are used in the analysis procedures. The course concentrates more specifically on the assessment of geological and hydrological hazards and on the determination of the vulnerability of elements-at-risk for multidisciplinary disaster risk management. The MSc degree course is designed for academicians, while the Postgraduate diploma course is designed for practitioners who are active in environmental, engineering or planning organizations and who are dealing with hazard and disaster management. Participants of the Postgraduate diploma course have a specific interest in the practical application of the tools and techniques taught in the course Participants of the MSc degree course have a specific interest in an academic career, and in applied research concerning the tools and techniques taught in the course. Participants of both courses have a specific interest in spatial information, and want to learn state-of-the-art GIS and earth observation techniques. They are mid-career professionals with a university background (BSc), or recent university graduates in a field relevant to earth sciences. What is the course content? The course will deal with the following topics (among others): principles of GIS and remote sensing techniques image analysis for hazard monitoring, susceptibility and assessment spatial modelling of hazards dynamic modelling concepts and software tools mapping of elements at risk vulnerability assessment risk assessment and risk reduction planning research skills and methodology; thesis research (MSc degree course) project skills; individual final project assignment (Postgraduate diploma course).

16 14 The course teaches how to apply GIS, remote sensing and modelling techniques in the analysis and assessment of natural hazards, and in disaster risk management. Participants will be able to use remotely sensed data to identify natural hazards and assess susceptibility to these hazards. They will learn how to apply process-based modelling, GIS and remote sensing in multi-hazard and risk assessment. The MSc degree course is oriented towards carrying out independent research, and includes MSc thesis research. The Postgraduate diploma course is oriented towards the practical application of methods and techniques, and includes a challenging hazard modelling/risk assessment project and a final practical assignment. Why choose this course? This course will transform you into a skilled and knowledgeable expert in the field of natural hazards who can identify the both risks they pose to society and what can be done to reduce these risks. The course offers the opportunity to experiment with spatial approaches and techniques for hazard assessment, and integrate the modelling of the physical processes involved into multi-hazard risk assessment. MULTI-HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT EUROPEAN CREDITS 5 start date 16 May 2011 end date 24 June 2011 study mode and duration Online - 6 weeks TUITION FEE euro 1000 Owing to increased vulnerability and climatic extremes, we are faced with the rapidly growing impact of disasters worldwide. There is an urgent need to incorporate the concepts of disaster risk management into planning, sustainable development and environmental impact assessment. Disaster risk management requires the assessment of risk, which is a multidisciplinary endeavour. The course explains how to conduct a risk assessment using spatial information on hazards, elements at risk and vulnerability with the aid of GIS and remote sensing, and how this information can be used in risk management, with a focus on urban areas. This course is designed for all those who have to carry out risk assessment and require knowledge and skills in using a GIS to handle the necessary the procedures, such as professionals working in governmental and non-governmental organizations, planners, engineers, architects, geographers, environmental specialists and university teachers. Some basic background in GIS is desirable, although not strictly necessary as the course follows a step-by-step approach that enables participants to rapidly acquire the basic skills in handling GIS software. The course will guide participants through the entire process of risk assessment, on the basis of a case study of a city exposed to multiple hazards. At the end of this course, you will be able to: understand the concepts of hazard assessment, elements-at-risk mapping, vulnerability assessment and risk assessment formulate the spatial data requirements for risk assessment use GIS to generate an elements-at-risk database apply various methods for vulnerability assessment generate risk maps using qualitative and quantitative methods understand how risk assessment is used in risk reduction and disaster preparedness.

The first part of this course concentrates on the spatio-temporal modelling of natural hazards that are related to hydrological processes (drought, landslides, runoff/erosion, flash floods, river floods). Step-by-step modelling provides insight into hazard processes and allows scenario predictions. joint course with the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) - India For more information: E: Dr Suresh Kumar suresh_kumar@iirs.gov.in (IIRS) drs Tom Loran loran@itc.nl (ITC) I: The second part focuses on multi-hazard risk assessment. Spatial information is used to assess vulnerability and elements at risk, and combine this into risk. The RiskCity case study of a city exposed to multiple hazards is used to demonstrate the different procedures for risk assessment. Towards the end of the course, small teams of participants carry out a hazard modelling or risk assessment project assignment. It is possible to combine this course with the certificate course Remote Sensing and GIS for Natural Hazard Assessment (see page 15). This course is aimed at working professionals and postgraduate students who wish to focus on the process-based modelling of hazards, and on the application of GIS and remote sensing in multi-hazard and risk assessment. Participants should have active working experience in using GIS and remote sensing. The course requires an affinity with landscape processes and willingness to approach risk assessment in a quantitative way. On completion of this course, participants should be able to: apply dynamic modelling concepts and software tools use process-based models correctly and critically use the PCRaster open-source modelling environment at intermediate level predict better where and how a natural process becomes a hazard generate an elements-at-risk database using GIS apply various approaches to vulnerability assessment generate risk maps using qualitative and quantitative methods understand how a risk assessment could be carried out in their own situation.

Remote sensing and GIS are becoming mainstream technology, being applied in many organizations and work processes with a geographical orientation. This course concentrates on hazard-related information extraction from remote sensing image data and on GIS-based data-driven modelling for hazard susceptibility mapping. Remote sensing images and map data are used for expert-based visual interpretation of landforms, for identifying and characterizing different natural hazards and their controlling factors, and for image-based change detection. Digital image processing techniques as well as more advanced remote sensing approaches (e.g. radar, laser scanning) will also be considered. Digital terrain modelling provides terrain parameters to support hazard identification and to serve as input for landslide and erosion modelling. Towards the end of the course, small teams of participants will carry out a remote sensing-based hazard identification or a hazard susceptibility mapping project assignment It is possible to combine this course with the certificate course Natural Hazard and Risk Assessment (see page 15). This course is aimed at working professionals and postgraduate students who wish to use satellite images, DEMs, aerial photographs and other spatial data for hazard identification and susceptibility assessment, or for the analysis and monitoring of landscape/surface processes. Participants should have active working experience of using remote sensing and GIS. The course requires an affinity with landscape processes. On completion of this course, participants should be able to: select, (pre-)process and interpret remote sensing image data for landform interpretation and hazard identification select and use multitemporal images for change detection of natural hazard processes construct hydro-morphometric parameter maps by digital terrain modelling select and prepare factor maps as input for data-driven modelling of landslide/soil erosion susceptibility critically evaluate and communicate the quality of a landslide/erosion susceptibility map resulting from data-driven hazard modelling. Owing to increased vulnerability and extreme events (including both natural and human-induced hazards), we are faced with the rapidly growing impact of disasters worldwide. There is an urgent need to include the concept of disaster risk management in planning, sustainable development and environmental assessment. Strategic environmental assessment is a process for evaluating the environmental consequences of proposed policy, plan or programme initiatives to ensure they are included and addressed at the earliest possible stage of decision making. The course provides a unique opportunity to integrate a multidisciplinary assessment of risk into strategic planning processes. It brings together a set of powerful tools and techniques to provide timely and objective information on our living environment, and in doing so provides sound information as a basis for planning and policy decisions. This course is designed for all those who are involved in development planning (including environmental and risk assessment) at all levels of society and who need to acquire procedural knowledge and skills in risk assessment, risk management and planning to carry out their work. These include professionals working in governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as planners, engineers, architects, geographers, environmental specialists and university teachers. The course provides knowledge and skills applicable to multi-hazard risk assessment and strategic environmental assessment within a clear context of spatial planning routines. At the end of the course, the two concepts are brought together in a realistic case study that deals with a practical situation involving either environmental or human-induced (industrial) hazards. It pays close attention to the use of relevant tools and techniques such as satellite imagery, dynamic modelling and scenario development within a GIS environment.

Understanding the spatial and temporal variations in physical parameters in the subsurface therefore gives additional insight into these processes and their extent. This could be the extent of pollution plumes, water or mineral resources, or the sliding planes of landslides. The development of homogeneous 3D subsurface information systems is therefore important for various fields, such as environmental monitoring, natural hazards and earth resources. This is carried out on the basis of bore hole data, field data, and airborne- and satellite-based geophysical datasets, which are used to generate subsurface volumes in a 3D GIS environment. These volumes are linked to subsurface dynamic process models that are used to study dynamic phenomena such as resource deposits, pollution plumes, and groundwater flow in aquifers. This course delivers knowledge on tools for 3D subsurface characterization, visualization and modelling. This course is relevant for professionals who: have to carry out geophysical surveys, data processing or analysis want to use results from geophysical surveys in their own work are exposed to geophysics in their work environment and would like to gain a better understanding. These include professionals working in geophysical companies, geological surveys, universities, consultancy firms and industry. The sustainable use of land and earth resources is a key factor in economic development. In our daily life, we are continuously confronted with situations that have a direct link with earth resources and related processes. The buildings in which we live and work are constructed of materials from the earth, the soil produces our daily food, and mineral resources provide fuel for transport and cooking. Sustainable development of a country s mineral resources is generally seen as a key factor in economic growth. The search for mineral resources relies on the availability of up-to-date geological knowledge bases, conceptual mineral deposit models and modern exploration technologies. This course follows an integrated approach to upgrading geological maps, and to reinterpreting geological information in a GIS environment, using aerial photographs, satellite imagery and airborne geophysical data. Subsequently, exploration data and deposit concepts are brought together for integration and analysis using GIS and modelling systems to assess mineral resources potential. The MSc degree course is designed for academicians who are active in the field of earth resources and who have a specific interest in geological and mineral exploration. They have a specific interest in an academic career, and in applied research on the concepts and strategies taught in the course. The Postgraduate diploma course is designed for practitioners who are active in the field of earth resources and who have a specific interest in geological Participants will learn about the theory and practical use of geophysical methods for subsurface investigations in their day-to-day work. At the end, participants will be able to: understand the fundamental differences between various geophysical methods select the appropriate geophysical method for their problem process and analyse geophysical data interpret geophysical data for a specific purpose write and/or evaluate geophysical proposals.
