Abstract:

Conservation GIS applies geospatial problem solving to ecological research and resource management issues to enhance conservation planning. This course emphasizes the unique nature of each conservation problem and the multiple pathways that may result depending upon the geospatial techniques that are applied. Problem understanding is emphasized as a prerequisite to the application of the full range of possible geospatial techniques that could be used to unravel complex conservation challenges. Map making, a common thread when working with GIS, is only the beginning in this course and students will use the written word to describe the decision process that used to address each problem addressed in the course.
