4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GEO 419 and GEO 481 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Studies the human decision-making process underlying spatial mobility that results in the creation of patterns and daily routines. Covers the different environments and theories involved in the process, as well as the modeling techniques that have been used, emphasizing the application of Geographic Information Systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 101 or GLY 101 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC Introduces an integrated framework for natural resource management that addresses biophysical, social, and economic issues affecting natural resources such as water, soil, air, plant and animal communities and their use through agriculture, forestry, and fishery. The multidisciplinary approach equips the participants with the necessary tools and techniques to develop sound management policy and practice at the watershed scale from small watersheds to large basins. Outlines methods for problem definition and goal setting to elect appropriate and effective management strategies and procedures for monitoring and implementation.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 481 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC Utilizes concepts and software tools to appropriately analyze geo-spatial data and model environmental processes. The course uses exercises related to physical processes, but also presents and discusses methods and examples in the fields of environmental science, ecology and human geography.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 481 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Emphasizes GIS applications for environmental modeling, which is loosely defined as any study that contains an environmental element. This is an intermediate level GIS course. GIS methodology design is the primary focus of the lectures and the following topics are discussed: basic GIS methods, using statistics to test and validate GIS methods, and integrating GIS with environmental models. Case studies are used to support the discussion of method design and help students select appropriate GIS methods for a project. The hands-on laboratory exercises focus on learning advanced GIS methods in order to help students implement a GIS project of their interest.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Provides a general introduction to the principles and applications of geographic information systems (GIS). The lectures cover several fundamental aspects of GIS: (1) the basics of a GIS system, () GIS data and sources of data, (3) GIS analysis functions, and (4) GIS applications and related issues. The laboratory exercises are based on the leading GIS software, ArcGIS, and are designed to help students understand the lecture materials and gain hands-on experiences in GIS data acquisition, spatial database management, spatial analysis, and mapping.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC Surveys the basic types of geographic location problems encountered in the real world and examines basic techniques applied to solve those problems.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Introduces the principles and applications of remote sensing, and the basic techniques of digital image processing. The lectures introduce a number of fundamental topics of remote sensing: the interaction between energy and Earth surface, major sensor systems and images, basic techniques for image enhancement and image classification, classification accuracy assessment, and applications of remote sensing. The laboratory exercises are designed to help students understand and gain hands-on experiences in digital image process techniques introduced in the lectures.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 481 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Explores capabilities for micro- and minicomputer applications of geographic information systems, including such topics as data volumes, data partitioning, and database construction and maintenance. Explores applications to urban-planning and natural-resource management using ARC/INFO.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 10 or GEO 381 or GEO 481 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC/REC Provides an overview of cartographic design and visualization within the context of GIS and multi-media web presentation to enhance the visualization skills expected of a modern geographer. The course will cover both theoretical and practical issues associated with visual representation, cartographic design process, exploratory data analysis, data uncertainty, quality and generalization, thematic mapping, web designing, online mapping and other multi-media applications.
