2 Why Wageningen University? international university flexible programmes - much free choice intensive study advise small and specialized informal contact with highly qualified teachers modern campus with state of the art facilities good sport facilities above all: motivated students!

3 Why Geo-information Science in Wageningen?

4 MSc Geo-information Science (MGI): location 1 location (GAIA building) 2 chairs: GIS and Remote Sensing 1 master programme participation in MSc GIMA 20 staff members / 30 PhD s Education Scientific and applied research Services (Geodesk) strong relation with research teams Alterra (40 researchers)

5 MSc Geo-information Science (MGI): characteristics acquisition, analysis and presentation of geo-data focused on the rural (green) world / metropolitan landscape broad programme; no pre-defined specializations integration of GIS and Remote Sensing theory combined with practical work; intensive supervision multi-disciplinary and international student population

6 MSc Geo-information Science (MGI): focus Reflection on (solving) complex spatial temporal problems with GIS and Remote Sensing approaches and techniques Typical questions related to spatial issues: Where is what? Where has what changed? Where will what change? inventory and status mapping monitoring and change detection scenario studies and prediction

7 Spatio-temporal analysis of sensor data Event recognition in public transport trajectories: a case study on Helsinki tram and bus movements.

8 Human-space interactions: ADHD Spatio-temporal analysis on movement data of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

9 Spatial decision making Environmental Impact Assessment using ArcGIS. SUITABILITY ANALYSIS INDUSTRIAL AREAS 1. FUNCTIONAL DESIGN 2. TECHNICAL DESIGN 3. IMPLEMEN- TATION

10 Spatial uncertainty of physical phenomena A case study for mapping the dispersion of a radioactive plume in the first phase after a nuclear accident measured by mobile sensors (2012)

11 Integrated land monitoring Remote Sensing time-series analysis for tracking forest change; case of UNESCO Kaffa Biosphere Reserve in Ethiopia

12 Integrated land monitoring example precision agriculture spatial-temporalspectral scaling model close sensing + flexible acquisition + active system no processing standards point observations high-frequency time-series MSc thesis topics: Multi sensor analysis for LAI retrieval in precision agriculture Habitat monitoring using unmanned aerial platforms

13 MSc Geo-information Science (MGI): programme programme of 2 years (120 ECTS); full time programme; English 1 st year: courses; 2 nd year: major thesis and internship / minor thesis broad programme; no pre-defined specializations; thesis oriented individual programme in consultation with study advisor many contact hours and a lot of practical work since 2002: > 20 MGI students per year; 50% foreign students; (2013 and 2014: > 35 students) background students: BSc Environmental Sciences: (Geography, Forestry, Ecology, Landuse Planning, Soil Science, Water Management, Biology) BSc Information Technology, Computer Science, Geo-informatics
