This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite imagery can be used to visualize and analyze spatial data. Students will learn basic techniques for analyzing, manipulating, and creating geospatial data in both pixel-based (e.g., satellite imagery and digital terrain models) and vector-based (e.g., point, line, and polygon representations of spatial data) formats. Students will also learn how to acquire high-resolution satellite imagery and other GIS data from online data servers.
There are a total of 13 modules in this course.
