About this subject
As more businesses and scientists adopt geographical information systems (GIS), there is increasing demand for graduates with strong skills in collecting, managing, analysing, and visualising spatial datasets. GIS and spatial analysis skills will be indispensable for almost all careers in geography and geosciences, and students who have advanced skills in this field will be best prepared to enter the job market. This subject builds on KGG102 Introduction to Spatial Information and will give you more advanced skills in the analysis and presentation of spatial data. The subject covers interpolation, terrain modelling, multi-criteria decision analysis, geodatabases, spatial data quality, and internet mapping. These topics are explored in lectures and weekly practical sessions. Towards the end of the subject you will work on a GIS project and apply your new spatial analysis skills to tackle real-world spatial problems. The subject is likely to be of interest to students in geography, environmental studies, earth sciences, plant science, zoology, agricultural science, computing and information systems, archaeology, and engineering.
