GEOG 4261

Explores the theory and application of advanced methods of spatial statistics and analysis. Widely-used and emerging spatial analysis tools are applied to real-world spatial problems, including epidemiology, transportation, infrastructure, conservation, crime analysis, and climatology. Students will identify appropriate spatial analysis methods depending on the subject and type of spatial data, as well as build descriptive and predictive spatial models to investigate spatial patterns and processes. Lab sessions address common spatial techniques using mainstream GIS software.
