If you are getting started with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or perhaps you are curious to know what a GIS is and what it can do - then this class is for you. Geog372 introduces you to the field of Geographic Information Science, the body of knowledge behind which the GIS software tools are based, and provides hands-on training in the use of a geographic information software system. Emphasis in placed on using "real" world data such as census, tigerlines, DEMs, soils, landuse/landcover datasets and the steps necessary in using the GIS to solve geographical problems. ESRI's suite of software packages are used in this course. This course is offered each Fall semester.
