Advanced GIS: Topics in Spatial Analysis w/ Professor Capperis (4:55pm)

Advanced spatial analysis methods allow geographic information systems (GIS) to model spatial data, processes, and relationships in more nuanced, realistic ways than core GIS methods, particularly when working at the scale of a city neighborhood. This course will cover several advanced GIS methods that have particular application to urban planning and policy, including but not limited to network analysis (applied through transportation), apportionment (applied through demographics), and field data collection. This course will also reinforce replication of methods and results through tools like the command line and ModelBuilder. Students will strengthen their spatial problem-solving abilities as well as their map portfolio through in-class exercises and projects.
