MapCraft GIS trains hydrologists, foresters and geographers to turn satellite imagery and terrain models into answers that hold up in the field — SAR flood maps, groundwater models, watershed delineations, built the way they're actually built on real projects.
MapCraft GIS is run by Nitesh, a Remote Sensing and GIS practitioner who works hands-on with the same tools he teaches — SAR flood inundation mapping, groundwater modeling, watershed delineation, and hydraulic simulation across the field areas he trains on.
Courses grow out of real project work rather than slide decks: a lecture is built only after the workflow has been run end-to-end on an actual dataset, from a HEC-RAS dam-break study on the Beas River to Sentinel-1 flood mapping over Punjab. That "learn it, build it, then teach it" discipline is what shapes every MapCraft syllabus.
A complete run from theory foundation to advanced GIS, microwave/SAR remote sensing, and a cartography + AI bonus track — closing with a final project. Past cohorts have delivered SAR flood mapping and NDWI water-extraction work.
A structured lecture series across ModelMuse and Visual MODFLOW — from conceptual model to a working, calibrated groundwater simulation.
Notify me when it opens →HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS workflows for hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, including 2D mesh setup and dam-break / breach analysis.
Notify me when it opens →A full path from Python foundations to deep learning for satellite imagery — NumPy, GeoPandas and rasterio, Random Forest / SVM classification with scikit-learn, and CNN-based image classification and change detection, positioned as the premium capstone after the RS & GIS Masterclass.
Notify me when it opens →Geographic vs. projected coordinate systems, and choosing the right UTM zone.
How vegetation, water and soil trace distinct signature curves across bands.
Using QGIS plugins to extract road networks from satellite imagery.
Sentinel-1 backscatter, speckle filtering, and building a flood extent map.
Beyond training — MapCraft also takes on mapping and geospatial analysis work directly.
