GIS 320 - Introduction to Geospatial Modeling

Credits: 3

This course introduces how GIS can be used to construct and simulate dynamic models of geospatial phenomena, which involve variation over space and/or time. This course provides foundations on geospatial modeling, and an understanding of various issues related to geospatial modeling and simulation. Students will learn concepts, tools, and techniques commonly used in GIS modeling, including approaches from continuous representation of system dynamics to the discrete interactions of individual, agent-based models. This course it designated as computer intensive (CI).
