3.00 Credits
Applies geospatial data, tools and methods to preparedness and emergency management. Examines the current status of the use of geospatial data, tools, and infrastructure in preparedness and disaster management. Explores approaches for the effective integration of existing geospatial tools into the framework of emergency preparedness and management; strategies for improving geospatial decision support in this field; and various other issues related to data availability, security, and policies. Emphasizes technology application. Prerequisite: ENVH 524; Prior knowledge of GIS.
-
2.00 Credits
Surveys capturing, processing, integrating, and displaying GIS data. Focuses on public health applications of global positioning systems, satellite digital imagery, image processing, aerial photography, digital orthophotography, GIS applications for the World Wide Web, and GIS data sources on the Internet. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Modeling and analyzing complex spatial relationships through GIS technology. Selective retrieval of spatial information and computation or mapping of statistical summaries. Advanced methods of analysis using spatial statistics. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
GIS in health services research and the health care sector. Introduces GIS-based methods of mapping, modeling and analyzing issues, such as patients' access to health care and services, locating new medical facilities and health services; delineating medical service areas and consumer markets. Presents emerging applications of GIS to the scale of individual facilities and the mapping of the human body itself.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
GIS display, modeling, and analysis of environmental hazards/toxicants, as well as population's exposure to environmental contaminants. Includes geography and modeling of hazard sources, hazard surveillance, spatial characterization/modeling of contamination and GIS-enhanced risk assessment/management. Considers the use of GIS for managing public health safety problems. Presents current applications of GIS in environmental health and disaster/emergency response. Third unit requires additional GIS project that includes substantial analysis of environment data and discussions of results through written and oral presentation. Prerequisite: ENVH 524 or ENVH 536; or consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Provides overview of GIS-based mapping and statistical methods for describing, displaying, quantifying, and modeling spatial variations in disease, especially with respect to exposures at the small-area scale. Main topics include disease mapping, analysis of spatial clustering of health events, disease surveillance and ecological modeling. Presents currently implemented spatial epidemiologic applications at the international, national and local levels.
-
2.00 Credits
Community health assessment and planning, chronic disease prevention, public health, health disparities analysis, and immunization. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Comprehensive overview of the concepts, functions, skills, applications, technologies, and trends of modern remote sensing in environmental and health- data acquisition and analysis as well as applications in related public health issues. Topics include GIS-based image interpretation and data generation, satellite remote sensing, remote sensing applications, and case studies in public health. Software tools used include introduction to IDRISI Kilimanjaro and ERDAS Imagine as well as other modeling tools such as ArcGIS, STELLA, ArcPAD, GPS, CartaLinx, etc. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to 'systems science' as both a conceptual approach to analysis and as a methodology for enhancing research and application within the environment, health, and earth systems. Provides students with fundamental knowledge of dynamic modeling tools, particularly focused on using STELLA and iThink (from Isee Systems); as well as other tools that integrate spatial and non-spatial datasets, e.g. ArcModeler, Geode, TerraVIVA, Netweaver, and various SAS tools, etc. Applies 'systems thinking and analysis' to specific interdisciplinary issues within public health and other applied sciences. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Geographic tools for graphic display and spatial analysis of international and U.S. domestic health, epidemiological health services, and environmental health problems and issues. How geographical information systems (GIS); desktop mapping; geocoded, computerized databases and medical geographical applications are used in health and environmental planning, decision making, and research.
