GISC 1780 - Spatial Analysis

3 Credits

This course introduces students to more rigorous GIS techniques for using customized spatial analyses to investigate and enhance digital spatial data in a GIS environment. The true power of GIS involves the ability to spatially adjust, extend, modify, and integrate digital spatial data (both rasters and vectors). The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students how to apply conceptual skills acquired in the spatial thinking course to digital spatial data in a GIS. Students will use extensions (especially 30 Analyst and Spatial Analyst) and customized toolboxes in ESRI’s ArcGIS suite of software to conduct the analysis. 3C/3/0/0
