Over the past years, researchers and professionals
have increasingly turned to GIS for acquiring, processing, analyzing and
mapping environmental and socio-economic data. This course covers advanced
topics in understanding and using GIS. Advanced GIS will cover a wide range of
modeling applications using raster, including watershed drainage analysis,
ecological corridors and least cost path analysis. Students will also be
introduced to analytical tools such as spatial data interpolation techniques,
point pattern and density analysis, and error assessment. Hands-on experience
will be provided through weekly labs and final project.
