ES 220 - Maps and Apps: Space and Place in Electronic Environments

An exploration of maps and mapping in electronic environments.  Students will explore the fundamental premises of cartography and apply them in various Geographic Information Systems (GIS) environments.  Course topics include map creation and analysis, virtual globes, exploration and use of online “public” mapping and spatial analysis services, and basic use of GIS software.  The principle objective is to investigate an array of mapping and spatial display environments rather than develop expert GIS users.

Credits: 4

Notes: This course will not be open to students who have already received credit for ES-260: Geographical Information Systems. (Students who complete ES-220/GG-220 may, however, move on to complete ES-260).

Crosslisted: GG-220
