Online Course
Digital elevation models and applications
Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and NPTEL via Swayam
Overview
The proposed course provides basic understanding about digital elevation models (DEMs) and their applications in Civil Engineering and Earth Sciences. Further, in the proposed course various DEMs, their source, generation techniques, derivatives, errors and limitations would be discussed extensively. Surface Hydrologic Modelling using DEMs, modelling derivatives and their applications would also be discussed.
Syllabus
