This course focuses on utilizing geospatial data through GIS tools in environmental science. Students will learn to analyze and visualize data such as hydrology, topography, wetlands, and land use using ArcGIS, specifically the Geostatistical Analyst extension. Practical examples will include datasets from GeoStor, NW Arkansas orthophotography, and various shapefiles for different environmental features. The course emphasizes hands-on tutorials, project progress reviews, and quizzes to reinforce learning. By the end, students will be equipped to apply GIS techniques effectively in environmental studies.
