ENVM 513 - Spatial Analysis and Environmental Modeling (3)

Building upon foundational principles of GIS and remote sensing learned in ENVM 509 and ENVM 511, this course guides students through more advanced forms of spatial analysis and use of environmental modeling required by managers and other professionals. Students will gain experience calculating measures of dispersion, identification and analysis of spatial patterns, detection of spatial clustering, determination of habitat suitability, and modeling relationships using various forms of spatial regression. Emphasis will be placed on the use of these tools for decision making in real environmental management scenarios. Prereq: ENVM 509. Offered: Every semester.
