Detection, analysis and modelling climate change effects by geodata-technology | March 28 - July 17, 2023

This Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) investigates the effects of climate change on the Costa de la Luz with special consideration of the effects of intensive strawberry cultivation in western Andalusia.

Students learn how to detect environmental changes in the region, which methods should be applied and which geodata is needed for analysis, while identifying additional driving forces that contribute to the changes in the environment.
