3.00 Credits
The course provides rigorous hands-on-exercises (based on data from case studies) on the applications of statistical methods, GIS technologies, and other computer-based software to the management, analysis, and display of multidimensional, geological, hydrogeological, and environmental data sets (70% of student effort). The course will cover (30% of student effort) the fundamentals of spatial data analysis and GIS technologies as well, since the students can not start dealing with applications unless they understand the fundamentals. In addition, students will be required to complete a research project using spatial data sets and acquired expertise. Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: Geosciences major with Junior standing. Notes: The prerequisites to 5000-level courses are: junior status and 12 hours of course work in Geosciences or consent of instructor. There may be specific prerequisites to individual courses. Credits: 3 hours
-
3.00 Credits
