GIS 102 - Our Digital Earth

Students will use cutting-edge online mapping technology, as well as field experiments, to learn about earth systems (hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and geosphere), their dynamic interactions, and their role in environmental issues. We will explore important earth processes such as weather and climate, ocean currents, volcanoes and plate tectonics, applying scientific and geospatial inquiry methods to collect data, create maps and graphs, and conduct experiments.
