Fall 2018 / Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Summer 2022 / Fall 2022 / Fall 2023 / Fall 2024
Maps, geospatial data and technology play an important role in our understanding of the world and our geospatial literacy. Learn about the evolution of maps, the map as an art form, the map as a form of communication, and the ways maps influence our view of the world. Engage in critical thinking about maps and spatial data, and their use in society. In hands-on exercises students learn how to critically read and evaluate maps for expanding their spatial awareness of the world around them.
GEOG 3023 - Statistics and Geographic Data
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018 / Summer 2018 / Spring 2019
Learn how to use computational and statistical tools to solve problems in the geographic domain and apply introductory statistical concepts to real world problems through lab exercises. Using spatial data you will be trained in powerful specialized descriptive and predictive analysis technique. You will explore how to manipulate and visualize data and make inference using state-of-the art statistics software, applied to various social and Earth Science problems. Same as GEOL 3023.

Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the fundamentals of cartographic design. Learn about the science and art of map design in a GIS environment! Students will learn how to build a spatial database, implement best practice for processing various types of environmental and social spatial data and apply basic visual analytics to understand spatial patterns. Recommended prerequisite: basic familiarity with computers and an introductory course in statistics (may be taken concurrently).
GEOG 4103 - Geographic Information Science: Spatial Analytics
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2020 / Spring 2022 / Fall 2022
Explores advanced topics in geospatial databases, spatial analytics and geoprocessing in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Emphasizes how geographic concepts are linked to methodological frameworks for recording, transforming, storing/retrieving, analyzing, and processing geographic data as well as various forms of uncertainty. Exercises demonstrate the application of GIS-based methods to real world scenarios in interdisciplinary settings. Same as GEOG 5103.
GEOG 4503 - Geographic Information Science: Project Management
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
Managing a geospatial project encompasses problem identification, project design, analysis and supporting team dynamics. The class mixes lectures and class exercises with student-selected projects and works through all stages of a project from articulating an initial idea to project planning and scoping, building a work plan, timeline and budget, executing the work plan and evaluating a project's progress. Same as GEOG 5503.
