Course Overview: Earth surface phenomena generally do not occur in uniform
patterns, but are instead heterogeneously distributed across space. Hence,
the ability to examine and analyze these spatial patterns is an incredibly
useful tool for earth scientists - and one such analytic tool at our
disposal is the use of geographic information systems (GIS). This hands-on
computer lab and lecture course provides an introduction to the use of GIS
in the earth sciences. We begin by covering the fundamentals of GIS,
including the way spatial data are represented and stored, the software
tools available (with a focus on Esri ArcGIS), and many of the fundamental
methods of analysis. This introduction also includes some of the theoretical
aspects of GIS. The course covers these fundamentals through examples in the
earth sciences and beyond, and then explores various earth science
applications of GIS in greater depth. Topics include discussion of imported
data for GIS analysis, introductions to analyses of topography and
hydrologic flow, mapping and analysis, and a brief overview of other
geomorphologic phenomena for which GIS can serve as a useful if not
essential tool. For more information, contact Steven Walters,

is required for "ESS 401: Field Geology with GIS"
