Environmental Modeling

Environmental Modeling is the science of predicting the behaviour and occurrence of environmental processes and variables. The use of GIS in Environmental Modeling extends this science to the creation of spatial surfaces. Environmental modeling using GIS is being applied to a wide variety of environmental and natural resource applications for decision-making at all levels. This course will provide the fundamental knowledge required to perform environmental modeling using industry-standard GIS software. Students will learn the appropriate algorithm to choose for a given scenario and will explore techniques for enhanced visualization. In addition, hydrological surfaces will be created and examined in order to better understand the physical processes which take place in our environment. 21 hours.
