Ongoing technological advancements are expanding the use and applicability of GIS; spatial data and maps inform policy and decisions, and they are seamlessly shared online or through social media. The skills to efficiently gather, manipulate and interpret geographic information and harness the potential of GIS in this current information-rich and knowledge-based society are essential in, and transferable across, many sectors and research areas.
This module builds upon the skills gained in the 'GIS Principles and Applications' module and will develop further the students' theoretical and practical knowledge of GIS while enhancing their spatial thinking capabilities. The module focuses on further exploring geoprocessing methods and tools, cartographic enhancement and online data visualisation and sharing - using both ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
It will cover advanced principles of data acquisition, management and analysis when working with GIS, including advanced editing, geoprocessing and thematic mapping techniques, and 3D visualisation. Automation of ArcGIS workflows, using the application ModelBuilder and creation of online WebApps and Story Maps will also be covered in the module. Students will be introduced to ongoing technological advancements and capacitate them for life-long self-directed learning in GIS.
