GEOG 389 - Conservation GIS

Although human induced changes on the Earth have been occurring for thousands of years, the current magnitude, rate and spatial scale of these changes are unprecedented. With the beginning of industrialization in the 1800’s we entered a new epoch - the Anthropocene- in which humans are the main driving force of environmental change. Land cover change, overhunting and climate change are the main drivers of worldwide species extinctions, which are currently 1000 times the background extinction rate. The Conservation GIS seminar will focus on technological developments related to the application of GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) in conservation assessments, planning and management, through the review of literature and case studies. Open to graduate students; advanced undergraduates may ask permission.
