GIS Applications in Earth and Environmental Sciences

3 credits · Undergraduate

The integration of geographic information systems (GIS) across a suite of disciplines has expanded the application of spatial analysis to varied and complex problems . This course builds on the foundations of GIS taught in ENVS / ERTH / GEOG 3850.03 to explore analytical tools that test hypotheses and aid in decision-making in both the sciences and digital humanities . Topics covered in lecture and lab include advanced methods such as spatial cluster analysis, linear regression, and network analysis.
