GEOG 4303 - Geographic Information Science: Spatial Programming
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
Focuses on the extension of geographic information systems (GIS) through programming as well as on the development of algorithms for spatial analysis and information extraction in vector and raster data using open source tools. Covers concepts, principles and techniques of programming and solving spatial problems in natural and social science settings. Group projects will foster skillsets in implementing solutions to complex spatial problems. Recommended prerequisite: GEOG 4203. Same as GEOG 5303.
