Course Description:

The Digital Earth produces petabytes of data every day, and over 90% of that data is associated with a location in the real world. This first course on the Digital Earth will introduce you to the creation, analysis, and visualization of geolocated data that can enhance our understanding of the world and help us make decisions informed by information. You will learn to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to encode, manipulate and store digital geospatial data, create dynamic maps with satellite imagery and machine learning, understand global navigation satellite systems like GPS, and use ecological and population-based data in spatial analyses. By the end of the course, you will be competent in the theoretical concepts and practical capabilities of geographic information science, skills that are in significant demand.
