Required Project - 2 options
• •
Option 1 - LABS
– Tuesday labs in ArcGIS – ArcGIS data models, spatial analysis, networks, surfaces, digitizing, metadata – Take FINAL exam
Option 2 -
analytical
project
– apply course concepts to your own project (thesis or dissertation) – Completion of Labs 1-3 is still required – poster or web site, 10-20 page paper, and 10-15 min. presentation during Dead Week – No FINAL

What Will You Learn?
{ see learning outcomes on syllabus } •
Theoretical
– broaden base of GIS theory established in GEO 465/565 – build entry points into GIS research literature – cover sets of topics in GIS research & practice, with a focus on the geosciences / coastal & marine sciences
What Will You Learn?
•
Theoretical
– consider expanded capabilities of GIS in more detail and relate them to YOUR current work – rethink the characteristics of spatial data, of spatial analysis procedures – all about putting technology to work EFFECTIVELY
What Will You Learn?
•
Technical
– Broaden knowledge of
ArcGIS
– Apply GIS methods to problem-solving / project completion – Work toward professional level GIS skills
GISystems, GIScience and GIStudies
GISystems GIScience GIStudies
GISystems, GIScience and GIStudies • • •
GISystems (GIS)
– Emphasis on technology and tools – “GIServices” – Implements storehouse of GISci knowledge
GIScience (GISci)
– Fundamental issues raised by the use of GIS and related technologies (e.g.) • Spatial analysis • Map projections • Accuracy • Scientific visualization – Systematic study of the use of geographic information
GIStudies (GISt?)
– how systems and science are embedded in a societal context,
applications
