Description

This course builds on GEOG205: Introduction to GIS, delving deeper into the nuts and bolts of how GIS work and how we can tweak GIS to better do what we want. GEOG324 is a technical, largely lab based course, where students will use a mix of the leading proprietary GIS software, ArcGIS, and open source software to gain advanced skills in GIS. Students will learn how databases are used to store geographic information, how we can customise existing GIS to our needs, basic programming skills with Python and how to publish and visualise geographic information on the web. There is also a research component to the course in order to ensure students are aware of the research landscape in GIS and are able to critically analyse work undertaken in GIScience.

Prerequisites

30 points of 200-level Geography, including GEOG205, or
in special cases with approval of the Head of Department.
