GEOG 5160 - Spatial Modeling with GIS

Meets with GEOG 6160. Graduate students should enroll in GEOG 6160 and will be held to higher standards and/or more work. The power to model complex environmental systems in a geo-spatial framework is one of the great assets of GIS. This course places the fundamental operations and software of spatial analysis and GIS in a modeling framework. The course addresses advanced concepts and techniques in map algebra, cartographic modeling and descriptive and predictive spatial modeling. The course has both lecture and required lab components.
