Related Course Undergraduate Work

Sustainable Cities: Using Portland, Oregon, as a case study, the course will explored sustainable cities from the
perspective of health, the environment, and social cohesion.
U.S. Environment and Sustainable Policy: Students studied U.S. environmental and sustainability law and policy to
assess the roles of science, key actors, and values in policymaking.
Geography Field Seminar Oregon: Place-based analysis using geographic methods and field investigations. Field sites
and research topics will vary from semester to semester.
Independents Study: Feminist Geography
Climatology: Comprehensive study of climatic phenomena with emphasis on global heat and water balances, daily
weather analysis, climate classification, and climate change.
Soils and the Environment: Study of soil properties, formation processes, and classification with emphasis on fieldwork,
application of soil information to resource management and land use, and technical report writing.
Fluvial Processes and Landforms: Study of river processes and the landforms that result from them, including how
processes and landforms respond to natural and anthropogenic environmental change. Investigations of streams in the Eau
Claire area emphasized.
Quantitative Methods: An introduction to the quantitative methods commonly used to test hypotheses in geography with
an emphasis on interpretation of results produced by statistical software rather than underlying mathematical structure.
Topics include measures of central tendency, mean center, nearest neighbor, Chi-square tests, simple and multiple
correlation and regression, and factor analysis.
Introduction to GIS: Introduction to the fundamental concepts of GIS technology and the utilization of spatial data for
solving geographic problems. Raster and vector approaches to spatial processing are examined. Special emphasis is given
to raster based systems.
GIS II: This course expands directly on knowledge gained in Geog 335, Geographic Information Systems I. Focus will be
on gaining additional technical skills and applying them to answer more in-depth geospatial questions.
Remote Sensing: Descriptive interpretation of remote-sensing images from ground, aerial, and space platforms.
Advanced Remote Sensing: Explores the theory and methodology of applied remote sensing. Focus is on the principles
of electromagnetic radiation, interaction of solar radiation with Earth's atmosphere and various surface classes, remote
sensing systems, and digital image processing.
Web GIS: An introduction to Web GIS, the programming concepts underpinning construction and implementation of
high quality web and mobile solutions.
Special Topics: Unmanned Aerial Systems
Special Topics: MSHA New Miner Training
Independent Studies: GPR

ESRI Courses: G eodatabase Management and Design; Geodatabase Topology
