Spatial Data Analysis

Data acquisition in the environmental, physical, and health sciences are increasingly spatial, and novel in the sense that specialized methods are required for analysis. This course will cover different types of spatial and spatiotemporal data and their analytic methods. Students will learn a variety of advanced techniques for analyzing geostatistical, areal, and point referenced data. Focus will be placed on visualizing spatial data, choosing the correct method for a specific research question, and communicating analytic results clearly and effectively.
