Project topics#

Choose a topic for your project that you are interested in. Ideally, each group should cover a different kind of GIS analysis such as

  • Multi-criteria analysis, e.g. site selection, risk

  • Least-Cost-Analysis

  • Interpolation, e.g. air quality or temperature analyses

  • Network Analysis, e.g. routing, isochrones

  • Hydrology, e.g. flood risk analyses

  • Terrain analysis, e.g. visibility or viewshed analyses

  • Classification, e.g.land use mapping

  • Multi-Temporal data processing, e.g. land use change

  • Solar potential analysis

  • Develop a QGIS Python Plugin (advanced)

  • …
