3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 4810 or the consent of the department. Lecture and lab-based examination of the use of remote-sensing concepts and technologies to describe the geography of water resources, to monitor and to evaluate their content, and to assess their impact on physical settings and human communities. Topics include the spectral properties of water, measurement of selected water column constituents, and analysis of their impact on upwelling spectral signals. Also included are other applications to aquatic systems such as spectral identification, classification, and delineation of wetlands; and land-cover change detection.
-
3.00 Credits
(GEOG 4822, GEOG 4822G, and EES 4200 are cross-listed) A study of land forms and the processes that have shaped the natural landscape. A study of the physical geography and geology of the United States through maps and aerial photographs is undertaken in the laboratory. Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GEOG 4805 or consent of department. A detailed examination of modern computer-based map creation, with particular focus on map design issues. Lecture topics include map generalization, text labeling, color schemes, classification of statistical data, and various univariate and multivariate mapping techniques. Class exercises aim to develop practical skills in the use of GIS and graphic design software for cartographic purposes.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 3805 or 4805 or consent of department. Detailed lecture and lab-based examination of theories and concepts important to geographic information systems (GIS). Topics include GIS as a communication system, data acquisition and management, error management, GIS functions, GIS-based spatial analysis, GIS and regional scale, visualization concepts, the role of GIS in spatial decision support.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOG 4830 or consent of department. Lecture and lab-based examination of the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in specific problem-solving contexts. Activities include identification of GIS uses in different socioeconomic and physical contexts, analysis of advanced technical issues (e.g., network analysis, location-allocation modeling, facilities management) and investigation of implementation issues.
-
3.00 Credits
(BIOS 4833 and GEOG 4833 are cross-listed). Prerequisite: Consent of department. A broad overview of the specialized branches of plant ecology which will examine the essential interactions between plants and their environment. The focus of the course will be threefold: first, theoretical considerations providing students a solid background from which to examine plant environment interactions; second, the dynamic processes that continually shape the structure of plant communities; third, methodologies for sampling and analyzing plant communities. At least two field trips can be anticipated.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: nine hours of geography including GEOG 2801 or equivalent and consent of department. Techniques of geographic field research. Projects will emphasize methods of gathering and organizing field data and subsequent geographical analysis of collected data. Two hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: admission by consent of department. Independent research under the direction of a designated faculty member. Regular conferences between the student and the instructor are required. GEOG 4991, 4992, 4993 may not be taken for a total of more than six hours credit. In no case may a student register in GEOG 3850 and 4991 through 4993 for a total of more than nine hours credit.
