Nikolai Anisimov, a VSU GIS Center specialist, told the students of the results of the work funded by the Government of the Vologda Oblast, which was aimed at creating a database of maps of the region.
The grant of two million rubles opened new opportunities for research activities for students. Remote sensing and unmanned aircraft are among them.
The participants of the round table also discussed the possibilities of specialized programs and modules of geographic information systems, their use in commercial activities and territorial planning. Much attention was paid to the use of geoportals for the needs of municipalities, large companies and citizens.
