Geovisualization

Catalog description

Geovisualizations are a powerful way to reveal patterns in geospatial data, attract attention, and convey a message to an audience quickly and clearly. This course equips students to make informed design decisions (based on visual feature hierarchy, color theory, and design principles) and automate map-making techniques for multi-layered data, multivariate data, spatial-temporal data, and data with uncertainty. Students are expected to have a working knowledge of Geographic Information Systems. Some experience with Python programming would also be beneficial.
