| Number | Title | Hrs | Offered | Description | Instructor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FORY4470 | Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Applications in Forestry | 2 | Fall | Course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of GIS through discussion of the basic components of a GIS and how GIS are used in forestry applications. Students implement concepts learned in the preparation and presentation of a decision analysis project. | Teeter |
| FORY6480 | GIS Database Design and Analysis | 2 | Spring | Geographic Information System (GIS) database planning, design, creation, management, and analysis using a project oriented approach. | MacKenzie |
| FORY7220 | Landscape Ecology | 3 | Fall, even yrs | The development and dynamics of spatial heterogeneity, interactions and exchange across heterogeneous landscapes, and the influence of spatial heterogeneity on biotic and abiotic processes. | MacKenzie |
| FORY7470 | GIS Applications in Natural Resources | 2 | Fall | Course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of GIS through discussion of the basic components of a GIS and how GIS are used in natural resources applications. Students implement concepts learned in the preparation and presentation of a decision analysis project. | Teeter |
| GEOG3800 | Geographic Methods and Techniques | 4 | Investigation of the evolution of Geography and the portrayal of key geographical concepts using maps, remote sensing and aerial photography images, computer-assisted cartography, and geographic information systems. Students are expected to attain a degree of computer literacy, especially in using computers for portraying and analyzing spatial patterns and in electronic communication. | ||
| GEOG4810 | Cartography and Graphics | 4 | The principal objectives of the course are to: 1) examine fundamental concepts of map design and construction; 2) develop the skills necessary to produce quality, low-cost, and journal-publishable maps; 3) become familiar with manual and computerized production options; 4) look at the relationship between cartography, computer graphics, and the geography sub-disciplines of GIS and remote sensing. | ||
| GEOG4820 | Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing | 4 | Fall | The student will develop skills to interpret and use the output from remote sensing of the physical and cultural environment. This will include: to develop skills in the identification of objects from aerial photographs and other forms of remote sensing imagery, to develop skills related to the collection of information pertaining to the physical and cultural environment from aerial photographs and other forms of remote sensing imagery and to determine the significance of this information, to develop skills related to making measurements on aerial photographs and other forms of remote sensing imagery, to develop skills in the use of aerial photographs in the field, and to apply the scientific method and hypothesis development and tst to draw conclusions and make interpretations from aerial photographs and images. | |
| GEOG4830 | Geographic Information Systems | 4 | Spring | The purpose of the course is two-fold. First, the student should acquire an understanding of what a geographic information system is, the steps involved in construction and utilizing a GIS, and how a GIS can be used to solve spatial problems. Secondly, the student will acquire hands-on knowledge of ArcView by working with the tutorial and using it to solve a spatial problem. |
