Anthropological Application of GIS.

Catalog description

This is a beginner/intermediate Geographic Information System/Science (GIS/GISci) course designed to help students develop spatial analysis and data visualization skills using ArcGIS Pro software. The emphasis is on understanding the structure and efficient storage of GIS data (feature classes and geodatabases) and how to work with multiple different types of spatial data (vector, raster, and tabular). Students learn geoprocessing techniques to transform data based on spatial relationships; different methods to classify data based on attributes; and how to perform basic calculations using spatial geometry. This is done through lectures and weekly labs using real world data.
