GEO 244 - Mobile Mapping and GIS

Web mapping, GPS-based navigation apps, and location-based services on our phones have quickly brought digital mapping technologies into our everyday lives. These technologies allow our online and real-world behaviors to be tracked and analyzed in new ways but they also give us access to powerful mobile mapping tools. In this class we will investigate how mobile mapping technologies are used to address a variety of societal problems, such as the response to natural disasters, tracking the spread of deadly diseases, and understanding climate change impacts. We will learn how to use mobile and web-based geographic information systems (GIS) to gather our own data and use that data to solve real-world problems. Students may receive credit for only one of the courses. Cross-Listed: EPP 244 .  Course Typically Offered: Every 2 years.

Prerequisite(s): None.

Credits: 3
