GEOG 4760 - Advanced Spatial Analysis and GIS Applications
GIS based introduction to advanced spatial analysis and spatial decision making concepts. Understanding how proficiency with GIS and spatial analysis can be readily applied in a wide range of problem solving contexts in the social and natural sciences. Emphasis on spatial uncertainty and how it affects the quality of spatial analysis and spatial decision making.
