Temporal Analysis of Spatial Information

Catalog description

The analysis of events over time can reveal trends that are not detectable in a single ‘snapshot’ of data. The spread of pests and diseases during a specified period, for example, can allow GIS users to make accurate predictions about future spread and to recommend measures to limit or stop spread. This course will introduce students to the concepts and tools needed to analyze spatial data over time. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have the knowledge and skills needed for temporal analysis of historical data and predictive modeling.
