Visualization and Computation

This course teaches the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a collection of hardware and software tools that allow users to visualize and analyze geographic data in its spatial configuration. Students will learn the theory of geospatial analysis alongside practical methods for acquiring, manipulating, displaying, and analyzing cartographic data.

Mapping Social and Environmental Space offers a series of lectures exposing students to the theory and techniques of spatial analysis, supplemented with hands-on exercises to develop your facility with ArcGIS Pro, a common GIS software.
