3.00 Credits
Preservation planning, historic landscapes and cultural conservation have become important subfields in planning. These areas consider the value of America's heritage and methods to maintain their integrity, significance, and continued viability in a rapidly changing world. The course covers the development of preservation planning, examines current examples, and presents a theoretical overview of the field. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Course details the analytic use of various forms of aerial photography including manual interpretation, elementary photogrammetric techniques, mission design and planning, as well as integration and preparation of derived aerial photographic data for geographic systems analysis. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the use of remotely sensed imagery excluding aerial photography. Various sensor families (LANDSAT, Spot, RADAR, NESDIS) and platforms (manned, unmanned, satellite, and aircraft) are investigated. Emphasis is placed upon applied geographic analysis employing remotely sensed images. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigation of the fundamentals of digital image processing as applied to remotely sensed data. Study of the physics of light and the hardware systems used to record specific wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Laboratory and fieldwork related to the digital analysis of LANDSAT and other imagery in a sequence of analytic processes common to problem solving. Three lecture hours per week. Cartography elective, BS. Cartography.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of the atmosphere, weather elements, air masses, fronts, and storms. Introduction to the principles of weather forecasting and special problems of micrometeorology. Laboratory practice in the instrumentation and data analysis procedures of meteorological observation including the use of synoptic maps and upper air charts. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
The nature and distribution of world climatic regions. Local and regional variation in general patterns analyzed by means of selected data. Three lecture hours per week. Prerequisite: GGR100P or GGR101P or permission of Department Chairperson.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed to develop an awareness of the academic and applied contributions of geographers and planners in dealing with environmental issues. Discussion topics include the impact of human activity on the environment, environmental perception and environmental hazards. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Students enrolled in Salem's Trading Partners will explore the world through the eyes of Salem's merchants as they sought exotic goods in the richest ports of the Orient. Primary source materials including ship's logs, account books, letters, diaries, and maps from a corpus of material that each student will use to design an individualized research project. The course will include research of local institutions as well as trips to major museums. In all, students will have the chance to see Salem and, by extension, America in relation to the world at the time current American views began to take shape. Offered as a Summer Institute only. Prerequisites: None
-
4.00 Credits
This course serves as an introduction to soil science. It will review the biological, physical, and chemical properties of soils with special emphasis on how these properties relate to soil productivity and the relationship between soils and plants. Another important emphasis of the course will be its treatment of the geographical considerations of soils with regards to soil formation, soil-forming processes, soils distribution, and soil management. Occasional local field trips on weekends required. Three lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: GGR100P or GGR101P and GLS100 or permission of Department Chairperson.
-
4.00 Credits
This course serves as an advanced treatment of soils and soil science applications. It will examine in further detail the biological, physical, and chemical properties of soils with special emphasis on how these properties relate to soil productivity, the relationship between soils and plants, and soil resource management. An important focus of the course will be the study of and use of computer- based soils information systems for land evaluation, land capability classification, soil erosion susceptibility studies, and environmental planning. The student will gain exposure to the above techniques via field exercises and/or computer lab exercises. Occasional local field trips on weekends required. Three lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: GGR354P or course equivalent.
