Spatial Analysis and Modeling

Catalog description

Leverage the power of spatial data in this hands-on course on spatial analysis and modeling. Building on fundamental statistical concepts, you will explore a range of geospatial techniques to analyze geographic patterns, relationships, and processes. Through lectures and applied labs, you will gain experience with methods such as spatial pattern analysis, spatial interpolation, geographically weighted regression, and ecological niche modeling. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, real-world applications, and the integration of geospatial approaches to problem-solving. The course culminates in an independent spatial investigation, in which you apply advanced analytical techniques to a topic of your choice and effectively communicate your findings in a compelling format.
