Digital Earth
Explore concepts in geospatial technologies that are becoming increasingly important tools in research, policy, and everyday life. Discuss geospatial data sources (ex. GPS, citizen science, satellite imagery), applications (ex. disaster relief, biodiversity conservation, disease spread), and broader implications of their use (ex. privacy, ethical, legal issues). For each semester hour of credit earned, the equivalent of one lecture and one-and-one-half laboratory hours a week for one semester.
