Track: Lightning Talk - Learning and Research
Authors: Corrie Neighbors, David Oglesby, Gareth Funning
This project focuses on the integration of an online mapping interface (WebGIS) to enhance the learning experience of the course GEO 004: Natural Hazards and Disasters. Using ArcGIS Online tools, students perform spatial measurement, scale, slope, and proximity analyses to evaluate the risk of natural disasters. The use of a GIS system allows students to have a unified interface in which to examine the risks of various hazards, greatly facilitating their understanding of these complex phenomena.
