-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG340 or GEOL340 or permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG440 or GEOG441. Formerly GEOG441. A quantitative investigation of the fundamental geomorphic processes shaping modern landscapes, with emphasis on coastal, fluvial or glacial processes. Discussion of historical environments. Field, instrumentation and laboratory analyses.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG140 or equivalent; or permission of department. Recommended: GEOG201 and GEOG211. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG441 or GEOG498C. Formerly GEOG498C. Introduction to coastal oceanography, focusing on the physical, biological, and geological aspects of ocean areqs on the inner continental shelves. Wave, currents, and tidal dynamics of bays, open coast, estuaries, and deltas. Sedimentary environments of major coastal types. Ecology and biogeochemical relationships, including benthic and planktonic characteristics. Coastal evolution with sea level rise. Human impacts: eutrophication, modification of sedimentation. The coastal future: rising sea level, hypoxia, and increased storminess.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG342 or equivalent. Recommended: GEOG123. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG442, GEOG447, or GEOG484. Formerly GEOG447. Biogeographical topics of global significance, including a consideration of measurement techniques, and both descriptive and mechanistic modeling. Topics may include: scale in biogeography, climate and vegetation, global carbon cycle, biodiversity, interannual variability in the biosphere, land cover, global biospheric responses to climate change, NASA's Mission to Planet Earth and Earth Observation System.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG345. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG445 or GEOG446. Formerly GEOG446. Quantitative investigations into the Earth's radiation balance, water cycle, and the interrelationship of climate and vegetation. Methodologies in climate research. Case studies related to global climatic change.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG345 or permission of department. Components of earth's radiation balance and energy budgets: radiation, soil heat flux and the evaporation process. Measurement and estimation techniques. Practical applications of microclimatological theory and techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
A socio-spatial approach to human interaction within the urban environments: ways people perceive, define, behave in, and structure world cities and metropolitan areas. Cultural and social differences define spatial patterns of social activities which further define distinctions in distribution and interaction of people and their social institutions.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG306, GEOG372 or equivalent. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG472 or GEOG480. Formerly GEOG480. Digital image processing and analysis applied to satellite and aircraft land remote sensing data. Consideration is given to preprocessing steps including calibration and geo registration. Analysis methods include digital image exploration, feature extraction thematic classification, change detection, and biophysical characterization. One or more application examples may be reviewed.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: GEOG306 and GEOG373. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG473 or GEOG482. Formerly GEOG482. Analytical uses of geographic information systems; data models for building geographic data bases; types of geographic data and spatial problems; practical experience using advanced software for thematic domains such as terrain analysis, land suitability modeling, demographic analysis, and transportation studies.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG306 and GEOG373. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG471 or GEOG475. Formerly GEOG471. Advanced skills of computer mapping using more sophisticated software packages. Map projection evaluation and selection, coordinate system conversion, techniques of quantitative thematic mapping, map design and generalization, hypermedia and animated cartography. Emphasis on designing and making cartographically sound sophisticated thematic maps.
