Learning Outcomes
1 | Apply theory and techniques in GNSS data sampling, exploratory spatial data analysis, interpolation, geostatistics, and error propagation using best practice and industry standards. |
2 | Apply and evaluate interpolation techniques for producing continuous raster surfaces from point sample data. |
3 | Develop Python scripts that implement spatial data input/output methods, spatial data structures, and spatial analysis algorithms. |
4 | Communicate perspectives and knowledge in GIS and spatial sciences to specialist and non-specialist audiences using written, oral, cartographic, and other visual means. |
