Explore the fundamentals knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and discover how they can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of information in mine action operations! Learn how GIS technology streamlines workflows, optimizes decision-making, and maximizes impact in the field. 

Aim

Mine action is inherently geographic, and GIS allows information managers to visualise and analyse data to help solve spatial problems and make smarter decisions. In this course you learn the fundamental components and capabilities of GIS and discover how ArcGIS can improve the quality of information in mine action workflows.

The self-paced e-learning module contribute towards gaining fundamental knowledge on IMSMA Core.
