-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the principles and concepts of geographic information science to effectively use a professional level geographic information system. Practical hands-on exposure to "real" data and GIS software and hardware is provided through exercises and a final project.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced study of geographic information science and systems (GIS) including more complex spatial data models, editing and topology, data encoding, data quality, preprocessing techniques, spatial analysis, and cartography and visualization techniques. Hands-on experience using commercial and/or open source GIS package. PREREQ: GEOG670 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles underlying geographic information systems (GIS) are examined, and sample geographic problems are analyzed. Design and programming of modules for data acquisition and storage, map projection, map overlay, spatial data analyses, and graphic output are considered. Geographic themes and data vary each time the seminar is offered. PREREQ: GEOG470, GEOG670 or GEOG471
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Technical skills training focused on a specific aspect of the processing, analysis, modeling, and visualization of geographic data. The course content of each 1-3 credit course will vary to target a specialized technical topic using high end software such as ArcGIS and ENVI. May be repeated for a total of nine credits when topics vary.
-
3.00 Credits
Use of satellite observations to study the climate system. Discussions consider the development of satellite climatology, sensors, platforms and methodologies used to estimate climate variables from radiance measurements. Aspects of climate that are emphasized include cloud climatologies, cloud systems, atmospheric moisture, radiation budget, land-surface conditions. PREREQ: GEOG408 or GEOG412 or GEOG608 or GEOG612, or permission of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Approaches the topic from an interdisciplinary and industrial ecology perspective with attention to key skills needed to evaluate the environmental and social impacts of the sector. Experiential field study focusing on mining and extractives policy and sustainability issues offered with several international universities, including Australia's University of Queensland's Sustainable Minerals Institute and Russia's National University of Science and Technology MISIS.
-
3.00 Credits
Utilizing GIScience and environmental data analytics, students will develop a plan of action to mitigate or solve an environmental problem in a full length project report. Involves data analysis, reflection, writing, and self-assessment.
-
3.00 Credits
The primary objective of this interdisciplinary course is to introduce students to different earth-observing satellites, and to train them in identifying, preparing, and analyzing satellite data required for their own research projects. PREREQ: MAST681.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces important technology of remote sensing to further our understanding of Earth's environment. Gain an in-depth look at the principles, techniques and applications of remote sensing. Basic skills in computer processing of digital satellite images using ENVI and ArcGIS software are provided.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for advanced-level students with prior remote sensing knowledge. The goal of this course is to enable students to systematically review the recent developments in remote sensing methods, and to apply advanced geospatial skills in their own research. PREREQ: GEOG680 or MAST681.
