Geovisualization

Undergraduate

Geovisualization is the science and art of visualizing and interpreting spatial information. Students will learn the principles and methods of visual analysis of geographic data, using geospatial tools for visual communication and visual thinking. Beginning with the traditional principles of cartography, the course will then cover advanced topics such as flows and networks, 3D landscapes and spaces, animation, and interactive web-based geovisualization. Class time will be divided between discussion of principles and practices, and hands-on laboratory activities.
