Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related techniques for spatial data collection and analysis are increasingly important tools in forestry, recreation, natural resources, environmental science, and related disciplines. The GIS Minor is designed to allow students currently enrolled in other programs to develop and demonstrate their skills in this important area. Minors can only be pursued and earned in conjunction with a degree program. They cannot be earned after completion of the degree; they must be earned prior to or at the same time.
A minimum of 18 credit hours is required to complete this program, but several of the required courses or restricted electives have prerequisites, so students starting with no applicable college-level course credits will typically have to complete a minimum of 22 credit hours.
Introductory Course
Imagery Course
This course will introduce fundamental principles and concepts of remote sensing, and explore its applications specific to the environment and natural resource management. The course provides students with the basic theory to understand how and why remote sensing works, followed by a survey of remotely sensed data such as point clouds and imagery obtained from various platforms and portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. We will explore and obtain hands-on experience with how remotely sensed information can be used for applications such as land cover classification and wildfire mapping. Students will learn how to identify, obtain, process and interpret the appropriate remotely sensed data for various applications.
