SCI 3003 - Geographic Information Systems for the Sciences


Prerequisites: MATH 1023  or higher.
Geographic information systems (GIS) use computers to capture, store, retrieve, analyze, manipulate and display spatial data. This course introduces students to GIS, with an emphasis on environmental applications. A hands-on approach is taken, and the majority of the course is devoted to developing skills in using GIS to solve biogeoscience, environmental, and agriculture problems. Includes image processing, cartographic modeling, map algebra, multi-criteria evaluation, multiple regression, and biogeostatistics. Lecture three hours. Spring, odd years.
