3.00 Credits
(MURP 4600 and GEOG 4600 are cross-listed) This course introduces students to the history and practice of urban planning in the United States from its origins in the colonial era through the evolution of planning thought and programs in the 20th century. It also provides students with an understanding of how planning has evolved through recent history, and is being practiced currently. Emphasis will be placed on the components of comprehensive planning, the implementation of modern city plans, and the discussion of current planning issues.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: three hours of geography or consent of department. An analysis of the origin and diffusion of cities, their internal arrangement, and external relations and the problems associated with urban living.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: three hours of geography or consent of department. Examination of the spatial patterns of urban evolution in Europe and North America. Emphasis on the form, function, and connectivity of Western cities from classical times to the present.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: three hours of geography or consent of department. Geographic analysis of urbanism as a way of life and the physical processes of urbanization in the Third World developing countries.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide teachers and prospective teachers with a basic understanding and working knowledge of selected geographic concepts and skills. Topics include map use and interpretation, weather and storms, world climates, landforms, human ecology and pollution, reserves and utilization of natural resources, population growth, and Third World economic development and urbanization.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 2801 or consent of department. An advanced course in the analysis of geographic data, focusing on the refinement of research design skills, the use of multivariate statistical techniques, and the application of commonly employed geographic sampling procedures in spatial and environmental analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 2801 (or equivalent) or consent of department. Lecture and project-based introduction to the basic concepts and technologies important to mapping, geographic information systems (GIS), and image analysis. Topics include map design fundamentals, thematic mapping, statistical cartography, the relationship of mapping to GIS, essential elements of GIS, data acquisition and analysis, visualization of output, remotely sensed imagery and GIS, GIS functions and associated applications, and spatial decision support systems. This course will meet the needs not only of students who intend to do additional work in geographic techniques, but those who need only a one-semester survey of concepts. Students who have earned credit in GEOG 3805 may not take GEOG 4805 for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: three hours of geography or consent of department. A comprehensive introductory course that deals with fundamental physical principles of the science of remote sensing, the theory and practice of image interpretation, and information extraction techniques for aerial photos and satellite imagery. Includes remote sensing applications pertaining to management of natural resources and contemporary environmental issues. Practical exercises expose students to image processing and interpretation techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 3805 or 4805 or consent of department. Lecture and lab-based examination of principles of catographic animation, and the role of hypermedia; and the World Wide Web in the dissemination access, and display of geospatial information. Topics include: the history of catographic animation, principles and mechanics of animation, digital color systems, affine transformations, autotracing and shapeblending, digital relief and fly-bys, interactivity in animation, hypermedia and Web GIS.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 4810 or consent of department. This course examines the quantitative, computational, and applied aspects of remotely sensed data, with the goal of providing students with an in-depth understanding of image processing analysis, and interpretation techniques. Topics include scientific visualization, geometric, radiometric, and atmospheric correction: image enhancement and manipulation, information extraction, land-use and land-cover change detection, integration of GIS and remote sensing data and spatial modeling. Class applications will address issues related to environmental analysis, land and water resource inventory and use, and urban analysis. Practical exercises expose students to image processing and information extraction techniques.
