This advanced GIS course introduces the analytical use of geospatial information. Students will develop an understanding of spatial analysis methods, and learn practical skills of using GIS and spatial analysis to discover features of spatial distribution. The class covers the major methods of spatial analysis including
1) querying databases by attribute and by location,
2) measuring the geometric features and identifying the spatial patterns of geospatial objects represented as point, line, network and areal data, and
3) creating and analyzing 3-D surfaces.
As an important component of the class, labs are designed closely related to lectures and provide hands-on experiences of spatial analysis using GIS software (ArcGIS 9.2).
