The course aims to gain an understanding of the application of information technologies in the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the territory (surface, climate, vegetation, soil, etc.), as well as its use for the assessment and generation of models that can be incorporated into sustainable rural and environmental development plans and projects. Therefore, the subject covers the three main technological tools for capturing and processing geographic information: Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing.

Coordinator: Antonio García Abril
Within the past 20 years, sustainable management has become an objective and a fundamental means for society, establishing it as an adaptive process instead of a static approach. Biodiversity conservation must include practices of sustainable management to achieve sustainable development. The key questions of conservation are how to develop and apply appropriate sustainable management techniques and methods for different situations and activities; and how to achieve the conservation and improvement of biodiversity. This subject reviews the state of research and shows relevant experiences of natural resource management, sustainable management and biodiversity conservation that enable students to apply in their research or professional activities these tools and references for sustainable management.
