  3. Course Web Sitehttp://dusk.geo.orst.edu/buffgisGEO 580 Discussion Board geo580@lists.oregonstate.edu Sign-up and Web

  4. Required Textbook Geographic Information Systems and Science by Longley, Goodchild, Maguire, Rhind, 3rd edition

  5. Optional Arc Marine: GIS for a Blue Planet by Wright et al. Designing Geodatabases by Michael Zeiller Modeling Our World by Zeiler

  6. Required Project - 2 options • Option 1 - LABS • Tuesday labs in ArcGIS • ArcGIS data models, spatial analysis, networks, surfaces, digitizing, metadata • Take FINAL exam • Option 2 - analytical project • apply course concepts to your own project (thesis or dissertation) • Completion of Labs 1-3 is still required • poster or web site, 10-20 page paper, and 10-15 min. presentation during Dead Week • No FINAL

  7. Milestones • Option choices – April 8th • Required intro. exercise on ArcGIS data model schema - due date April 27th • Mid-Term exam – April 27th • Final exam – June 6th, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

  8. Grading • Option 1: • Mid-Term - 30% • Final - 30% • Labs 1-6 & Data Model - 40% • Option 2: • Mid-Term - 30% • Labs 1-3 & Data Model - 20% • Project - 50%

  9. What Will You Learn?{ see learning outcomes on syllabus } • Theoretical • broaden base of GIS theory established in GEO 465/565 • build entry points into GIS research literature • cover sets of topics in GIS research & practice, with a focus on the geosciences / coastal & marine sciences

  10. What Will You Learn? • Theoretical • consider expanded capabilities of GIS in more detail and relate them to YOUR current work • rethink the characteristics of spatial data, of spatial analysis procedures • all about putting technology to work EFFECTIVELY

  11. What Will You Learn? • Technical • Broaden knowledge of ArcGIS • Apply GIS methods to problem-solving / project completion • Work toward professional level GIS skills

  12. GISystems, GIScience and GIStudies GISystems GIScience GIStudies

  13. GISystems, GIScience and GIStudies • GISystems (GIS) • Emphasis on technology and tools • “GIServices” • Implements storehouse of GISci knowledge • GIScience (GISci) • Fundamental issues raised by the use of GIS and related technologies (e.g.) • Spatial analysis • Map projections • Accuracy • Scientific visualization • Systematic study of the use of geographic information • GIStudies (GISt?) • how systems and science are embedded in a societal context, applications

  14. G. I. S. ? • Geographic Illusionary System • GRASS Interpolates Sushi • Gastro- Intestinal Sophistication • Geometrically Increasing Silliness • Going In Style • Gee, I'm Spatial!

  15. Survival Skills • Follow lecture material • Proficiency in Windows, ArcGIS, and HTML • Save early - save often • Lab notebook (“cookbook”) approach • Build self-help capability while also sharing resources, working in groups

  16. Opportunities • ESRI User Conference. Every year in San Diego. July 11-15 Student assistantships, regional meetings as well • ESRI Recruiting See card on bulletin board next to my office • GIS in Action Conference Today and tomorrow! • Other opportunities posted to geo580@lists.oregonstate.edu, gisusers@lists.oregonstate.edu
