printer friendly pageEARTHSYS 145: Advanced Concepts in Geographic Information Science (EARTHSYS 245, URBANST 145)
This course offers an in-depth exploration of advanced concepts, methods, and applications in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Through a combination of lectures, weekly labs, and final projects, students will gain proficiency in advanced spatial analysis and statistics, spatial modelling, as well as 3D mapping and visualization. The course will discuss an array of topics ranging from: space-time analysis, watershed modelling, advanced remote sensing concepts, spatial interpolation, and site suitability modelling. At the end of the course students will gain the ability to work with data from different sources, quantify spatial variability, and make predictions at unsampled locations based on observed data points. In addition to this, students will be able to identify prevalent patterns and trends in the data and create effective visualizations. The course (3-unit) consists of two lectures and one lab per week and student's understanding of the course content is evaluated through a midterm, final exam, and final project. Prerequisites:
