DESCRIPTION
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computerized systems designed for the
storage, retrieval and analysis of geographically referenced data.
GIS uses advanced analytical tools to explore at a scientific level the spatial relationships,
patterns, and processes of cultural, biological, demographic, economic, geographic, and physical
phenomena
PREREQUISITES
AUDIENCE
Professionals and students exploring a potential career with GIS.
COURSE CONTENTS
This course provides a system for GIS users to develop proficiency in various spatial analysis methods, including location analysis; change over time, location, and value comparisons; geographic distribution; pattern analysis; and cluster identification.
