GEOG 6690 - Advanced GIS Seminar

This course extends the focus of GEOG 5690, Geographic Information Systems, from concepts and procedures to project applications and techniques in both individual projects and in seminar. Each student will be required to determine a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) problem and devise an efficient, innovative, and practical solution using advanced techniques in spatial analysis, spatial statistics, and cartographic programming. This course will increase the exposure to the state of the art in GIS software, theory, and practice. Seminar topics will include professionally relevant issues such as interfaces of GIS with spatial analysis, spatial statistics, remote sensing, and spatial remodeling and customizing GIS with internal and external programming languages, project design, and management.
