JEO 436E - Geograp.Inf.Syst. in Earth Sci

Course Objectives

This course aims to teach the basic concepts of the GIS with applications on various problems of earth sciences. First, we will start learning main map information, coordinate systems and map projections and then discover basic tools of a GIS software in construction of a geological map. This study simply includes, (a) data visualisation and editing in GIS, (b) generating geological symbols, (c) labelling, (d) production of a geological map, (e) data query, and (f) basic analyses.
