This advanced course builds on fundamentals learned in introductory geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) courses to explore a more in-depth investigation of a chosen GIS or RS topic, utilizing advanced techniques. Students design...

This course introduces students to remote sensing data, methods and tools used for the study of global environmental change. The growing concern about human impact on the environment has led to the development of new observation and analysis tools to...

Students will learn fundamental concepts and widely-used methodologies for assessing hazard, social vulnerability, and community resilience using geospatial analysis techniques. The course covers topics such as natural hazards, COVID-19, and multi-hazard...

This course is a workshop for students who have taken the introductory Geographical Information Systems course and want to explore detailed applications. The course will meet two times a week for a lecture and a laboratory exercise. Course Catalog Listing...

This is an introductory level course in the conceptual and analytic tools used to understand how spatial distributions of exposure impact on processes and patterns of disease. It covers methods that allow: (i) examination of patterns of health and disease...

We live in the post-PC era. We have far more smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices than desktops and laptops. Mobile geospatial information systems (GIS) allow users to view, capture, update, and analyze geospatial data from a mobile device anywhere...

Planning decisions are often idealized as being "evidence-based" or "data-driven." Spatial data often comprise the data and evidence that support such these decisions. In this course, you will learn how to create spatial datasets, both by assembling them...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a map must be worth two thousand words. Thoughtfully designed maps have the ability to capture spatial relationships and bring patterns of social phenomena across geographies to life. In this course, we will learn...

This course introduces the concepts and components of a geographic information system (GIS). It also teaches the essential skills of spatial data management, analysis, and visualization through the use of the ArcGIS software package. Upon completion of...

This courses teaches the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a collection of hardware and software tools that allow users to visualize and analyze geographic data in its spatial configuration. Students will learn the theory of geospatial analysis...
