Learn how advances in geospatial technology and analytical methods have changed the way we do everything, and find out how to map and analyze geographic patterns using the latest tools. The last decade has seen an explosion of new mechanisms for understanding and using location information in widely accessible technologies. This geospatial revolution has resulted in the development of consumer GPS tools, interactive web maps, and location-aware mobile devices. These radical advances are making it possible for people from all walks of life to use, collect, and understand spatial information like never before. This course brings together basic concepts of cartography, geographic information systems, and spatial thinking with real-world examples to provide the foundation needed to engage with Geography beyond the surface level. We will explore what makes spatial information special, how spatial data is created, how spatial analysis is carried out, and how to design maps so that they are effective in telling the stories we want to share. To gain experience using this knowledge, we will work with the latest mapping and analysis software to explore geographic issues.
