What will I learn?
This Georeferencing Course gives you practical skills to prepare imagery and scanned maps, choose suitable coordinate systems, and select accurate ground control points in complex terrain. Learn to apply transformations in QGIS, ArcGIS, and GDAL, assess RMSE and residuals, manage spatial error, and build reliable landslide inventories with clear metadata, QA/QC workflows, and well-documented uncertainty.
