Course content
The aim of the subject taking into account the modern method of monitoring of the landscape. There is no need to use only the manual measurement or observation. We can use modern geoinformatic methods, which allows us to obtain the data about the elements of the landscape in the real time, on-line. The methods which will be introduced are as follows: Digital sensors for different landscapes, sending the data with the help of GMS and GPRS, aplication of the real-time GPS and DGPS, using of the internet for the monitoring, vizualization of the data, remote control of the sensors. Examples of the succesfully solved problems.
