OVERVIEW:
You'll learn how to use information systems technology to
analyze geographic data. Geographic information varies across space, time
and scale, and GIS methods will help you to understand these variations,
to map spatial patterns, to detect temporal changes, and to do environmental
modeling with data at multiple scales.
The course is intended for GEOG and ENVS majors, and other
students who want a hands-on introduction to geographic information systems
and science. You'll learn how to import spatial data into a GIS database,
how to organize data to detect and analyze spatial patterns, and basic
GIS query and map overlay. Lectures introduce concepts.
A series of lab exercises will give you hands-on experience with ArcGIS.
