GIS and Landscape Modeling
NRE 534
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: NRE 420 or equivalent NRE 438 or equivalent

The goal of this class is to explore various approaches to modeling landscape pattern and change. The course will necessarily move between social and ecological processes and applications of the models, always with a geographical focus. During the course we will read about different modeling approaches, discuss applications of models and work on 5-6 exercises. We will explore GIS suitability models through a number of statistical and computational approaches.
