Environment

Description:

Developing, maintaining and sharing high-quality information is one of the fastest growing challenges in the field of environmental management. Environmental researchers and managers are both the developers and consumers of extensive geographic data, imagery and statistical archives. Environmental managers now must meet expectations of real-time data sharing across widely distributed projects within detailed data assurance standards. In order to meet these challenges, managers must understand complex relational databases, internet-based data delivery systems, and international metadata standards. This course focuses on essential issues of database development, delivery and maintenance for environmental managers. The course highlights new developments in digital data archives, internet map servers and collaborative programs, and uses emerging projects, protocols and current case studies to demonstrate good management choices, strategies and evaluation processes.
