On Campus-- Programs and Courses
Geography 201:
Introductory Geo-information Science
An introduction to
Geographic Information Systems. The systematic management of spatial data. The
use and construction of maps. The use of microcomputers and software for
mapping and statistical work. Air photo and topographic map analyses.
Geography 306: Raster
Geo-Information Science
Formal introduction to
a computer-based GIS. Topics will focus on map analysis and on transforming
and displaying spatial data. GIS will be used by student to solve problems in
both physical and human geography.
Geography 307:
Socioeconomic Applications of GIS
GIS applied to the
spatial analysis of socioeconomic and market data. Topics include geographic
market segmentation, geodemographics, spatial decision-support systems and
modeling applications of GIS. Empirical focus is on analysing spatial
patterns of population and consumption characteristics in cities and on
facility location problems. Emphasis on visualization and problem solving.
A conceptual view of
remote sensing and the underlying physical principles are presented.
Ground-based and satellite systems and the various components of the acoustic
and electromagnetic spectrum - from visible to microwave - are discussed.
Substantial emphasis is devoted to the application of remote sensed data in
geography and atmospheric sciences.
NRSC 430: GIS for
Natural Resource Management.
Applications
of PC-based GIS and spatial analysis techniques to the presentation and
analysis of natural resource information, including sources and capture of
spatial data; characterizing, transforming, and displaying spatial data; and
spatial analysis to solve real-life resource management problems.
Urban Planning 505:
Geographic Information Systems
Urban Planning: An
introduction to fundamental geographic information system (GIS) concepts and
a range of GIS applications in urban and regional planning.
Geography 506:
Advanced Geo-Information Science
Critically analyse
major themes in geographic information science and draw out the practical
ramifications for spatial technologies and research. Topics such as spatial
interoperability, data quality, scale, visualization, location based services
and ontologies are covered.
Geography 535: Remote Sensing and Interpretation
This course is a graduate seminar in remote sensing applications and advanced analytical techniques. The main objective of the seminar is to foster scientific discussion and critical analysis of remote sensing research. It covers ground-based, aerial and satellite systems. Emphasis will be placed on applications of remotely sensed data in ecological processes with examples from other fields. Theoretical aspects include techniques from remote sensing as well as other disciplines such as machine learning. This seminar will also include hands-on experience with spectrometry data collection.
