GISC 1770 - Spatial Thinking

3 Credits

Students taking this course will receive a broad introduction to the discipline of geography and use it as a building block for learning how to conceptualize spatial information in landscape space. They will use key spatial indicators such as proximity, shape, density, position, gradient, juxtaposition, and others in evaluating landscape-scale phenomena. The diverse cultural and biophysical landscapes of Minnesota will serve as the backdrop for developing and applying these principles. 3C/3/0/0
