Geo-Web and Geoportal Development

Undergraduate

Internet mapping has become a conventional approach used by the public (citizen science) and various organizations (government, health, utilities) to store, manage and share spatial data. Knowing how to design, construct and administer these online systems has become a necessary skill in the workplace. This course will explore the history of internet mapping, what software is available (proprietary vs. open source) to map spatial data online and how to design interfaces, construct tools and visualize spatial data within geoweb based GUIs and APIs. Process, storage and querying mechanisms for online geodatabases will also be covered. (Prerequisites: ESCI-2711.) (2 lecture, 2 laboratory hours per week.) 632 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar
