-
3.00 Credits
Deals with the evolution, significance, and underlying geographic principles of transportation, the theoretical bases of interaction, and the techniques of network analysis. The format of the course will allow the student to conduct independent research in the areas of interest. A significant portion of the course will introduce the student to computer-assisted techniques for transportation system analysis, although no student experience with computer operation is assumed. Prerequisite: GARP 0101.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the geography of locational analysis. Theories and methods of site locational analysis are introduced. Students are presented with case studies involving the best locations for various types of facilities, with special emphasis on business site location.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines post WWII expansion of American suburbs. The course traces the rise of suburbs as a dominant feature on the American metropolitan landscape and analyzes the political, economic, social, and cultural ramifications of suburban development on American city life. Prerequisite: GARP 0105.
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of a limited or specialized area within Geography and Regional Planning. Course content will vary according to the area of specialization of the instructor and the interests of the students. May be repeated if course content differs.
-
3.00 Credits
Intermediate meteorology focuses on more advanced topics in meteorology with major focus on synoptic and mesocale meteorology. Emphasis on weather forecasting techniques including surface and upper air charts, use of numerical (computer) forecasting models (e. g. Limited Fine Mesh, etc.) , analysis of radar and satellite imagery and severe weather analysis. Prerequisites: GARP 0230, junior/senior standing, and background in algebra.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the processes and patterns of the world's climates. After a review of basic meteorology, the Koppen and Thorthwaite classification systems are discussed. The final portion of the course investigates applied climatology which includes: human biometeorology (climate and humans) , agriculture climatology, climates past and future, and the effect of climate on transportation, architecture, business, and the construction industry. Prerequisite: GARP 0230.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to the meteorological conditions associated with the formation of severe weather conditions, and examines the impact of hostile weather on human activities. Lectures focus on the Jet Stream and its role in the genesis of cyclones, blizzards, severe thunderstorms, lightning, hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, cold and heat waves and bizarre weather phenomena such as dust devils, Chinooks, Haboobs, Santa Anas, and mountain-adoes. Prerequisite: GARP 0102 or GARP 0230.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces methods for the collection of data in social research and the analysis of numerical data using simple statistical computer software. In addition to a discussion of survey design, the course covers the advantages and limitations of in-person interviews, telephone surveys, and mail-out surveys. Students use computer software to produce simple, descriptive statistical analyses from survey data, including measures of central tendency and dispersion, frequency counts, and cross-tabulations. Much of the course involves the design, implementation, analyses, and write-up associated with a large class project. Prerequisite: Junior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced approach which provides students with an introduction to the application of remote sensing techniques for the inventory analysis of earth resources. Included are treatments of exotic sensors, electromagnetic energy physics and data processing for digital classification techniques. Prerequisites: GARP 0102 and GARP 0243.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced GIS is an advanced course which provides students with the techniques for the spatial analysis of humans in the Earth's environment. Included assignments will explore digital data collection and encoding, spatial analysis, visual interpretation, and graphic output. Prerequisite: GARP 0244 or equivalent.
