About the Projects
These Story Maps are the final projects for GEOG-368, Health GIS, Spring semester 2022 in the Geography Department at Macalester College. In this class, we flex the spatial-analytical side of medical geography, using GIS and statistical software to analyze the spatial distribution of diseases and other health problems, and to generate hypotheses about the causes of those patterns. The class was taught by Eric Carter with the assistance of Nethmi Bathige and Christine Justiniano, our TAs, and Ashley Nepp, GIS Lab Coordinator.
If you have any comments or suggestions about the Story Maps, please email Eric Carter (ecarter@macalester.edu)
