| Intro to GIS in Forest Resources | University of Washington | Forest Resources | yes | yes | yes | no | yes | no | yes | yes | no | no | no | no | no | no | arcview | GTAV | This is closer to a GIS Basic course; emphasis is on GIS (three out of 20 lectures specific to Forest). Labs: how to use ArcView, plus an interesting exercise in comparing properties of different projections (differences in measure); metadata mentioned in "data sources" lecture and in one exercise asks users to find bounding coordinates of the data set (hint: look at metadata). Very thorough lecture notes and labs with outstanding graphics! | http://lobo.cfr.washington.edu/cfr250/ | Phil Hurvitz | phurvitz@u.washington.edu | ||
