Instructor: Debbie Crowley
Introduction to GIS Lecture Links
Welcome Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Students!
Course Description:
This course is an Introduction to the concepts and uses of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS is a system of computer software, hardware, and personnel designed to visualize, manipulate, analyze, and display spatial data. A GIS can create "Smart Maps" that links a database to a map. This allows you veiw relationships, patterns, or trends that are not possible to see with traditional charts, graphs, and spreadsheets. Through computer lab tutorials and case studies students will learn to use ArcGIS 9.2 from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI).Lecture Suplamential Links:
For each weeks lecture, I have additional information for those students that wish for more in-depth knowledge on a particular topic. The links along the left hand column of this web page contain a link for each week. Clicking the link will bring you to a web page for that week’s supplemental material. This is strictly optional and your grade will not be affected whether you follow those links or not. It is simply my way of providing you with extra information that I discover on the topics of that week. Feel free to email me with links to web sites you come across that would be related to to a particular weeks topic, if appropriate I will add it to that weeks web page. In the email, please make sure to let me know which week you feel the link belongs.
