Description

Geoprospecting is a discipline linked to geography whose aim is to anticipate the future in order to imagine and design more resilient landscapes. The tools resulting from geoprospecting, combined with cartographic tools and tools for simulating the behaviors of the actors in the territory, make it possible to test the impact of more or less virtuous behaviors with respect to the water resource. A large part of the time spent in this course will be devoted to the use of modeling platforms so that students can manipulate these tools.

Objectives

The objective of this integrative course is to introduce students to a set of approaches that allow them to analyze and simulate the spatial dynamics of a landscape or a developed territory ex-ante and ex-post

1) in order to investigate the impact of these dynamics on water flows, or vice versa,

2) in order to anticipate the spatial distribution of developments or virtuous practices (hydrological or agro-environmental engineering).
