При подготовке курсовых и дипломных работ ВУЗов студенты зачастую сталкиваются с определенными методическими трудностями, связанными с по- иском данных, материалов и выбором ПО. Настоящая работа направлена на решение этой проблемы. Лабораторные работы на географических факультетах должны сопровождаться открытыми ГИС для эффективной обработки материала в сопровождении тематических карт, атласов, баз данных и литературных источникиов. Эффективность такого подхода основана на фундаментальной объективности ГИС, наглядности картографической семиотики процессов природной среды. Использование ГИС при построении учебного курса, обеспечивающих создание системы и репозитория геоданных Арктического бассейна, приводит процесс написания диплома на качественно новый уровень, позволяющий преподавателю сконцентрировать, обобщить и упорядочить колоссальные объемы географической информации, характерные для системы такого глобального масштабного уровня как Арктика. Использование открытых ГИС для написания диплома по экологии дают возможность студенту доступ к интегральным знаниям по комплексному пониманию физико-географических процессов и экологии акваторий, оценки пригодности данных и их интеграции в целях пространственно-временного анализа и моделирования с помощью модулей и инструментария ГИС.
While writing term papers and/or thesis, students often deals with certain methodological difficulties caused by search for necessary data, materials and selecting the best software. This papers contributes to the question of finding optimal solutions in such problems. Namely, it suggests that all practical works at the geoscience faculties should be based on the open source GIS and data. Freely available data and resources provide effective methods for processing materials, such as thematic maps, atlases, databases and literature sources. The effectiveness of the open source approach is based on the fundamental objectivity of the GIS principles, semiotics of the cartographic visualization of the natural environment phenomena. Using open source data and tools students can effectively perform environmental analysis and assessment, for example, ecological stability of the water areas, spatial analysis of the marine and coastal ecosystems. The fundamental principle of the open source GIS lies in the availability: students can make thematic maps both in the classrooms and at home as independent young researchers. The use of open source GIS techniques for writing thesis or term papers in geographical faculties is a promising and sound scientific and practical approach, providing a high level of study intensity, transparency of the data sources.

Abstract
While writing term papers and/or thesis, students often deals with certain methodological difficulties caused by search for necessary data, materials and selecting the best software. This papers contributes to the question of finding optimal solutions in such problems. Namely, it suggests that all practical works at the geoscience faculties should be based on the open source GIS and data. Freely available data and resources provide effective methods for processing materials, such as thematic maps, atlases, databases and literature sources. The effectiveness of the open source approach is based on the fundamental objectivity of the GIS principles, semiotics of the cartographic visualization of the natural environment phenomena. Using open source data and tools students can effectively perform environmental analysis and assessment, for example, ecological stability of the water areas, spatial analysis of the marine and coastal ecosystems. The fundamental principle of the open source GIS lies in the availability: students can make thematic maps both in the classrooms and at home as independent young researchers. The use of open source GIS techniques for writing thesis or term papers in geographical faculties is a promising and sound scientific and practical approach, providing a high level of study intensity, transparency of the data sources.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
