Use-case 2: “Planting Trees to Reduce Heat Stress”
Background Information / comparison with last year
Content of the course
General information
- Name of the course:"Geo-information Science BSc research project"
- Study-major: Geo-information for Environment and Society
- Study programme: Bachelor's International Land and Water Management
- Educational Institute: Wageningen University & Research
Target students
Students need GIS skills For the Tygron, you don't really need that. ArcGIS Pro
Objectives and desired outcome
Apply GIS and remote sensing to real life projects through research.
After successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to: - outline and structure a limited spatial research project; - interpret and restate research objectives in research questions; - review and report current research related to the research project; - design and develop a spatial data processing method or remote sensing processing method that can be applied to the research problem; - use a GIS or Remote Sensing application to explore or analyse a limited spatial research issue; - examine and interpret the results and infer relevant conclusion relevant to the research objectives.
Activities: Simulating a limited research project setting under supervision. Given a specific project description the student has to find and read project related publications, analyse project related data, use applicable software and report findings.
Outcome: A research paper, more like a small project (small thesis), preparation for the thesis. Students can choose any subject that is related to GIS or remote sensing.
Design of the Course
Syllabus and time distribution
As a final course of the GRS-minor students carry out individually a small individual research project given a limited project description. Within a short amount of time students are expected to realize some research stages like the interpretation of a project description, outline research tasks, analyse geo data, run geo data processing application and write a report about the followed methodology and findings.
The course was given in English and was spread over 4 weeks (full-time) Heat stress template to get to know the heat overlay Individual research Bachelor (WO) 3rd year (last year) 6 credits
Guidance and Resources
1 week to find out what the student wants to research and to get the license from the university 1 day to get to know Tygron, but it took 1 week to know what to do with it (exporting results, recording, etc.)
Relevant Resources:
- Sun motion table (heat overlay)
- Heat Stress module overview
- How to calculate the hourly radiation
- Geo Data
- DPRA Heat Module
- Model attributes (heat overlay)
- How to calculate the daily average radiation
- Project Sources
- Foliage crown factor (heat overlay)
Outcome and Assessment
Feedback and recommendations
Testemonial (from research): The Tygron Geodesign Platform is nowadays mainly used by municipalities, water boards and provinces for discussions about certain land use decisions. However, as this project has shown, the options for using the validated overlays, such as the Heat Overlay, make the platform also suitable for research projects.
