Dear students, In this Spring semester, I will be offering GEOG 414: Spatial Data Management. Spatial data is one of the most important ingredients for spatial analysis. Without suitable data, a geographic information system cannot exert its full potential. In this course, we will explore various types of spatial data, such as topographic data, DEM, hydrography data, land use/land cover data, socioeconomic data, and volunteered data (e.g., OpenStreetMap data). In addition, you will learn how to effectively manage these data through geodatabases and how to query data to answer your questions through structured query language (SQL). This course involves lectures and hands-on lab assignments. You will gain understanding on different spatial datasets, and will develop skills with multiple software packages, such as ArcGIS, QGIS, Microsoft Access, and PostgreSQL. If you are interested in this course, please feel free to contact me ([log in to unmask]).
