BIOL 2400 Geospatial Technology
Introduction to the application of geospatial technology. We will use the industry standard programs from ESRI, ArcGIS Pro, Survey1,2,3, and ArcMap. We will tailor the course to students' fields by focusing assignments on data sets (such as the U.S. Census) related to their programs of study. We will apply geovisualization (such as 3D mapping) to that data to do critical thinking and problem solving in their fields. Students will create web and smartphone map applications in order to share their results with the broader class and their departments.
