Doctoral Programme “Geoinformatics”
Geoinformatics and Geographic Information Science have evolved into a particular focus area at the University of Salzburg, managed through the Interfaculty Department of Geoinformatics. Research topics from the wide field of Geoinformatics are addressed through an “education through research” approach. The doctoral curriculum is focused on independently developing a thesis, parallel to completing a limited set of compulsory classes.
Currently research topics are centred around the seven research groups of the department:
- Object based Image Analysis (OBIA)
- Integrated Spatial Indicators (ISI)
- Spatial simulation
- Geographic Information Infrustructure (GII)
- Landscape lab
- GIScience lab
- GI-Mobility lab
