Description: | O Mestrado em Engenharia Geográfica da FCUP oferece uma formação académica e prática adequada à compreensão dos problemas ligados à aquisição e tratamento de informação geográfica nos seus diversos aspetos: produção de cartografia topográfica, condução e supervisão de trabalhos de posicionamento geodésico, tratamento de imagens de satélite e fotografia aérea, implementação e gestão de um sistema de informação geográfica. A formação visa dar um conhecimento profundo das diferentes disciplinas da Engenharia Geográfica e um espírito crítico que permitam formar Engenheiros com capacidades para, mais do que serem simples operadores, poderem decidir e conduzir, de forma autónoma, trabalhos nesta área. |
Obtain general knowledge of photogrammetryc concepts, with emphasis on digital photogrammetry, and focused on cartography and geographical information.
Introduce the main concepts and methods of supervised and unsupervised classification.
Consolidate the education in the practice of Landscape Planning (LP), emphasizing the supporting methodologies for LP and the guidelines for the distribution of the economic activities, towards sustainable development and green economies, entwined with the current status of the instruments for landscape management and planning (Portugal).
Contribute to the development of a critical attitude towards the implementation of landscape policies by a case study.
This CU provides the theoretical and practical fundamentals of Geometric Geodesy and Reference Systems that constitute the basis of the training in Surveying Engineering and are relevant for topographic and geodetic field surveys.
To teach advanced GIS knowledge, complementary to already acquired knowledge in this field
This unit aims to introduce the technique of Satellite Altimetry (SA), its specificities in the scope of Remote Sensing and its enormous potential of application.
It is also aimed to stimulate students' interest on Satellite Altimetry and research in this area.Provide students with experience in using, administering, and programming some of the most commonly used systems/applications in the Windows environment. The particular focus will be on the event-driven programming paradigm using the programming environment of Visual Basic for Applications coupled with data manipulation applications.
It is aimed to:
1) Acquire knowledge about the properties of acoustic waves and the specificities of Hydrography
2) The students acquire knowledge about the methods used in marine positioning and depth measurements
3) Are able to plan and perform an hydrographic surveying.
4) Acquire knowledge about tides and their role in Hydrography
5) Teach the methodologies used to measure sea level variation and increase students’ awareness on this topic and the associated problem of the global climate change.
With this curricular unit it is intended that the students achieve the following objectives:
To understand that different stressors, as well as different organisms (humans and non-humans) correspond to different forms of exposure, which require equally different assessment processes.
To be able to distinguish predictive risk assessment from retrospective risk assessment, and understand the interconnection between these two processes;
To recognize the differences between the conceptual models of European and North American risk assessments for the environment and human health;
Be able to use available tools to integrate toxicity data and derive PNECs (predicted in effect effect) / risk limits for different chemical compounds;
To be able to calculate risks to the environment by integrating chemical, ecotoxicological and ecological information.
To be able to carry out calculation of risks to human health for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic compounds;
To understand the difference between chemical and radiological risk assessment;
In the Dissertation, the student should develop her/his scientific research skills, under the guidance of a supervisor and/or co-supervisor.
In the Internship, the student should develop her/his ability to perform scientific-technological tasks, under the guidance of an FCUP supervisor and an enterprise co-supervisor.
In both cases, the student should improve her/his research and problem-solving abilities, the capability of synthesizing and integrating knowledge, and the critical sense. Thus, at the end of this unit, the student should be able to carry a professional career as a Surveying Engineer.

To know the characteristics of the current GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), identify its limitations and understand the issues of compatibility and interoperability.
To have the knowledge necessary to determine positions and velocities from code and phase measurements of the GNSS systems.
Identify and understand the problems that can affect the GNSS observations and the ways to overcome them.
To know the advantages and need for integration of GNSS with other sensors and identify the most appropriate solutions depending on the type of application and the desired positional accuracy.
