(in Polish) Applied statistics and spatial analysis in GIS 2600-ASS-GC-2-S2

The lecture has a practical character - discussed issues are presented on the example of tasks performed by students. The aim of the lecture is to acquaint students with the theoretical basis of a spatial information system (GIS), the possibilities of acquiring, collecting and processing data on environmental resources, performing spatial analyses, modelling natural processes on the example of modelling: potential ecological niche and shifts in ecological niches resulting from forecasted climate change, changes in biodiversity; mapping the environment and its threats.
During the laboratory classes, students are introduced to the practical aspects of working with geospatial data. The premise of the class is to present the basics of independent work with a selected open-code GIS environment computer program. The topics covered in this course include getting to know the interface of the programme (using QGIS as an example), learning how to create basic numerical maps, data vectorisation, data rectification, obtaining information from WMS servers, WFS and other on-line databases, entering own environmental data, assessment and modelling of natural phenomena on the example of: current threats to biodiversity on a local and global scale, habitat loss and fragmentation, spreading of invasive species, climate change. The section related to niche modelling will discuss the most commonly used modelling methods, e.g. Bioclim and Maxent.
