This is an advanced level course in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Students are expected to begin the term with an intermediate level of GIS knowledge and skills. We will explore advanced techniques for the collection, processing, analysis, and visualization of geospatial data. Advanced GIS related skills will be presented to compliment students' existing skill set. Students will utilize their GIS skills and knowledge in preparation for their capstone GIS research project. Therefore, GIS project management will be a central theme throughout the course. Students will improve their written, verbal, and visual communication skills through report writing, in-class presentations, and cultivation of advanced cartographic skills.
