GEOE 585 - GIS in Natural Resources

3 credits

While the basics of Geographical Information Systems are covered, the focus of this class is in learning application of the technology to natural resource problems. Independent learning of the use and functionality of ArcGIS software will be expected. Topics of proper cartographic map creation, topographic analysis, three-dimensional modeling, and data manipulation will be covered. Students will present independent projects related to their field of study. Taught in either the Fall or Spring semester.
