This course is designed to provide the student with knowledge in new methods of using georeferenced data. Integration of information from multiple sources is used to analyze interdependencies of both human and physical systems in a rapidly changing rural to urban environment. Examples are provided to illustrate uses in evaluating resource capability units, analyzing hazardous radiation areas, mineral exploration, land management, flood prediction and control, earthquake prediction, and hurricane preparation. Attention will be given to problems of data quality, errors, accuracy, and logical consistency.
