2004 EdUC Proceedings Abstract
Teaching Ecological and Environmental Applications of GIS Track: Teaching with GIS Author(s): Karl Korfmacher, James Zollweg, James Zollweg Funded by a grant from the Great Lakes Research Consortium (GLRC), a course titled Ecological and Environmental Applications of GIS was developed and taught by faculty from the Rochester Institute of Technology and SUNY Brockport in June 2003. The course was designed to address a documented need among the GLRC schools for courses that blended environmental assessment techniques, field skills, and GIS/Remote Sensing applications. The course focused on land cover change within the Black Creek Watershed (USGS HUC 04231000), covering a wide range of field and lab applications. These included spatial and temporal change analyses, developing and assessing LULC classifications, field mapping, terrain modeling, applications programming, and database development. Examples of course materials are available on-line at http://www.esf.edu/glrc/and http://iceberg.rit.edu/~kfkscl/index.htm.
