Topics of course
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the types of models used in geoinformatics, the way of model creation, the main steps (implementation, calibration, validation) through concrete examples. They will learn and apply with confidence modeling tools that facilitate the automation of operations, such as Model Builder (ArcGIS). Be able to independently build and run simple and complex models. System and model. The following topics will be covered: types of models; calibration and validation; statistical foundations of modelling; statistical foundations of modelling; spatial interpolations, geostatistical modelling; modelling landscape change; modelling surface water; modelling groundwater; modelling soil erosion; diffusion models; reachability models, network modelling; time series.

Requirements:
- for a signature
Attendance at lectures is recommended, but not compulsory. During the semester there are two tests: the mid-term test in the 8th week and the end-term test in the 15th week. Students have to sit for the tests
- for a grade
The course ends in an examination. The minimum requirement for the the examination is 50%. The grade for the examination is given according to the following table:
| Score | Grade |

| 50-64 pass | (2) |
| 65-74 satisfactory | (3) |
| 75-85 good | (4) |
| 86-100 excellent | (5) |
Students can take a retake test in conformity with the EDUCATION AND EXAMINATION RULES AND REGULATIONS.
-an offered grade: it may be offered for students if the test written in the 14th week is at least satisfactory (3).
