Course Description:
Maps are used in virtually every aspect of day-to-day life to communicate information about locations or spatial characteristics of society and the natural world. This course will introduce you to cartography, the science, and the art of map-making. You will learn how to communicate through maps, both in digital and hardcopy form, develop an understanding of key geospatial concepts, and explore various ways to visualize spatial relationships. The course also introduces three foundational technologies that underpin modern cartography: Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and Remote Sensing. Through lectures and labs, you will apply cartographic theory and principles of thematic map design to produce maps effectively – and with style.
