I'm just back from the field course for the collaborative MGIS. It was a great week and Kaikoura is a wonderful location to get to grips with the programme and to present an introduction to the courses we'll be covering over the year.
We carried out a number of field exercises as well as covered a number of different GISc topics. The students in the photograph below are calibrating some indoor navigation tools.
We were also lucky enough to include a visit to Ngai Tahu's marae in Kaikoura. Ngai Tahu provided a very informative afternoon discussing the GIS data they've been collecting and their future plans.
This year, 10 students across the two campuses (University of Canterbury in Christchurch and Victoria University of Wellington) started their Masters or Postgraduate Diploma during the field course. It looks like it could be a great year!
