Geographic Information Systems for a Changing World
GISC201
Description
This course covers the theory and practice of geographic information systems (GIS), focused on applications of environmental science and ecology. Students will use a variety of environmental spatial datasets for data visualization and analysis to quantify environmental changes. Students will learn essential GIS workflows for data acquisition, visualization, manipulation, geographic referencing, and map creation. Using real-world datasets, students will practice basic methods of GIS analysis for vector and raster data including: buffers, data queries, overlays, and map algebra. Students will create data layouts, feature layers, and dynamic and/or static maps that visualize and quantify spatial patterns of environmental change. This course is taught in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.
