A Subject you Enjoyed Studying this Semester

In forest engineering usually (not to say always) studies and analyses the environment in which we are involved, and we are part, such as geography, water resources, wildlife, forests, ecosystems and society.

And in this semester, I had to study a subject called Geomatics. At first it didn't attract much attention to me, but as I was studying I realized that it is very interesting.

Geomatics is the science that deals with the management of geographical information using information and communication technologies. Geomatics is a very useful tool in forestry engineering.

Through the Geomatics can be analyzed various environmental phenomena. For example, the consequences of climate change in the vegetation cover, the behavior of the species (flora and fauna) in a particular place, you can analyze different topographic features of the landscape that serves as support in the decision-making.

One of the basic things that I learned to do, was to use a software to do different types of analysis. Since make a map to make an analysis phenological.

That is why I think that this subject was very relevant this semester, because with it I could see clearly a working tool in the future.
