"Cutting Edge Technology in the Field!"
Integration of field data into systems of existing
spatial databases (aka GIS) for contextual and analytical purposes.
Use GPS and handheld
GIS units to collect data in the field, then analyze and model the
data back at the University. Field work on individual projects and
retrieval of available topographic and other supporting GIS data
will lead to production of a professional level database and maps
relevant to a current environmental issue. See course
description for more thorough information.
Definitely appropriate for geology, biology, ESR, anthropology and
civil engineering majors, as well as others interested collecting
field data. A good opportunity to get work done on an applied project.
