Geospatial Research project

Catalog description

This course is designed to advance a student's knowledge to design, manage and complete a research project that emphasizes the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This course is built on the techniques learned in GEOL 3311. Undergraduate students will work in groups of 2 to 4. Student groups will agree with the instructor on a suitable problem and then solve it by acquiring, organizing and analyzing data using a GIS. Projects must include a substantive analytical component where GIS is central to the methods used.
