GEOG 260 - GIS & Land Change Models

GIS & Land Change Models examines computerized models that simulate land change. Such models are important because land change influences socioeconomic development, biodiversity conservation, water resources, energy use, greenhouse gasses, and many other factors. Examples are in Massachusetts to extrapolate suburbanization and in the tropics to Reduce Emissions due to Deforestation and Degradation (REDD). Students learn fundamental concepts such as calibration, extrapolation, validation, and sensitivity, along with technical aspects of TerrSet’s Land Change Modeler and Geomod. Students apply the concepts in group projects.

Prerequisites: Prerequisite is Intro to GIS, listed as GEOG 190  or IDCE 310 .

Course Designation/Attribute: POP
