GEOG/NRES 312: Introduction to Geospatial Information Science
Learn how to think spatially, interpret maps, and creatively use geospatial technologies answer questions and solve real world problems. GEOG-NRES312 will teach you the fundamentals of geospatial information systems, global positioning systems, and remote-sensing with an emphasis on natural resources applications. Learn and utilize ArcGIS software to develop practical, hands-on GIS skills.
GEOG/NRES 427: Intro to Global Positioning System (GPS)
Getting coordinates from a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver
is usually a matter of pushing buttons, but knowing what those
coordinates are, and more importantly, what they aren’t, is more
difficult. This course is designed to help students with little or no GPS
experience acquire the skills necessary to collect and use high-quality
GPS data. Both the theory and application of GPS will be taught with
emphasis toward applications. Much of the course will be “hands-on”
with students using SNR’s sub-meter differential GPS (DGPS) units.
