Designed and delivered in the School of the Environment, Geography and Geosciences (SEGG, now SELS) at the University of Portsmouth in the 2019-2020 academic year.
GIS and Remote Sensing was open to L5 (2nd year) students of Geography. Adrian was Joint Course Leader, covering the GIS side of things while his colleague, Dr Howard Lovell, covered Remote Sensing.
Adrian’s work consisted of a series of five three-hour slots featuring a lecture followed by a lab-based practical session based around a series of mapping and spatial analysis operations he developed to run in ArcGIS Pro, based on his own experience of taking an onshore renewable wind energy generating scheme through planning at Ascog Farm, the family farm on the Isle of Bute, Scotland.
To get a taste of what was involved, the instructions for the second practical session, by which time things had started to get a bit more exciting, are reproduced below.
