The objectives of this unit are to (1) develop and extend familiarity with new and emerging GIS technologies; (2) expand knowledge of advanced spatial analysis techniques; and (3) develop fundamental GIS programming and model building skills. Students explore a range of advanced GIS analysis methods and develop skills in combining multiple analytic techniques for solving complex problems. Lectures cover topics including network and three-dimensional analysis, spatial interpolation and regression, and point pattern analysis. In addition students are exposed to geospatial programming to develop and run GIS-based models. Laboratory assignments require students to source their own GIS data... -- Course Website
