ENV 1100 - Our Digital World

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Description:

In the continually expanding realm of digital technology, the threads of geospatial technologies are becoming increasingly intertwined. Utilizing a map on one's mobile device, exploring one's residence through platforms like Google Earth, or summoning a rideshare'all exemplify the ubiquitous integration of geospatial data applications into our daily routines. Beyond everyday life, geospatial technologies are used to study Earth's climate, empower communities marginalized by environmental and technological hazards, and conduct environmental monitoring. This course pulls back the curtain on how geospatial data are collected, analyzed, and visualized, and explores how we can use these data to make informed decisions. Students gain hands-on experience using geospatial technologies for the collection and analysis of geospatial data from which they create digital information.
