Please consider taking my course Geography 454: GIS for Terrain Analysis in Spring 2021. This course will be offered online on MWF from 11:45 am to 12:35 pm.

GEOG 454 focuses on the theory and methods of the generation, analysis, and applications of digital elevation/terrain data. Topics include GIS-based terrain data models, terrain surface parameter extraction, profile analysis, shading and visibility analysis, watershed delineation, and terrain visualization and animation. The course provides lectures and computer-based lab exercises in generating and processing of digital elevation/terrain data using ArcGIS. The knowledge and skills learned from this course can be used to solve a variety of issues, such as earth surface processes (landslides, hillslope erosion, and sediment deposition), watershed management, landscape architecture design, environmental engineering, and land use and urban planning.

This course is a key course of the “Geospatial Science and Technology” and the “Landscape and Environment” concentrations for Geography majors and is a course for the College of Arts and Sciences Connections Package “Geographic Information Science for Our Changing World”.

The prerequisite of this course includes GEOG 132 and GEOG 311 or consent of instructor. Please contact the instructor, Dr. Yingkui (Philip) Li ([log in to unmask]), if you are unsure of your background or have other questions.
