Course Description

This course involves examining and applying geographic information systems (GIS) and related spatial technologies such as remote sensing and global positioning systems (GPS) for the study of forest landscapes. Students are presented with lectures and exercises that cover a wide range of topics including techniques and applications of spatial analysis and the design of landscape studies. Class meetings include lectures, guest lectures, and hands-on spatial analysis exercises in a computer lab. Students are required to complete lab assignments as well as design, propose, conduct, present, and write-up a large term project.
