URBN 225 Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

This course introduces students to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the analysis of spatial data. Students use deductive reasoning and logic to interpret data, draw conclusions based on numerical and spatial data, learn spatial statistics, and examine the different ways to represent data. Students also learn to construct, run and apply spatial models. An emphasis is made on the application of GIS to real-world situations. (Cross-listed with ENVS 225).
