Mitigate climate change, enhance biodiversity and promote sustainable urban development using geographical technology and your broad tree knowledge.
Trees have a big impact on a city's livability. Not only do they influence the people living in it, they also affect a city's biodiversity and sustainability. Learn to improve urban forests with tree care, tree planning and geographical technology.
- From tree level to city level. You start with the individual tree and its physiology, and move up to policy making.
- Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology, you learn to analyse spatial data related to trees and urban landscapes.
- For students majoring in forestry, arboriculture, environmental sciences, biology, sustainable development, ecosystem management or earth and climate change.
- With insights from our own research centre, closely involved in the local Flemish urban forest.
