Google Earth在水文类课程教学中的应用

Application of Google Earth Software in the Teaching of Hydrology Courses

Goolge Earth是基于三维地形和遥感技术的地球模型,其具有三维显示、多尺度视角、海量影像库、历史影像展示等特点。在水文类课程教学中应用Goolge Earth软件辅助教学能够实现地形地貌的三维演示、水文演化过程的动态演示、人类活动与水文环境效应展示以及水文循环过程的直观图解等。这不仅能够将"野外现场"带进课堂,弥补野外实践教学课时的不足,同时能够借助Goolge Earth丰富的素材库向学生展示各类水文素材,从而激发学生的学习兴趣,提高教学效果。

Google Earth is a model of the earth based on three-dimensional terrain and remote sensing technology.The application of Google Earth in Hydrology Teaching can help to display three-dimensional topography and landform,hydrological evolution process and response of hydrological environment to human activities,which not only brings the field into the classroom and makes up for the shortage of field practice,but also shows all kinds of hydrological materials to the students so as to stimulate students’interest in learning and improve the teaching effect.
