ENVS210 — Maps, GIS and the Environment
Introduces students to the elements of geographic information systems (GIS) including cartography, data structure, map overlays, and spatial analysis. Applications of GIS to environmental issues relating to hydrology and watershed management, soil science, land-use planning, and conservation are explored in a hands-on style, incorporating both field activities and GIS software. This course is the same course as GEOG 210. Students may receive credit for either ENVSC 210 or GEOG 210 but not both. Laboratories and field trips included.
