ENVIRONMENTAL GEOMATICS CERTIFICATE (18 CREDITS)

Name ____________________________________________    Exp. date of Graduation______________________

e-mail: ___________________________________________

Environmental geomatics synthesizes a number of concepts and techniques, including remote sensing, spatial analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), and positioning systems (GPS), that are used to improve the planning and management of natural resource systems. These techniques include the development of complex spatial databases from a wide range of data sources and the application of this information to solve environmental problems. The Environmental Geomatics Certificate is designed to give students, regardless of major, an understanding of remote sensing, GIS and GPS technologies and their application in environmental resource monitoring and management.

The certificate is administered through the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources. For further information, contact Dr. Richard Lathrop in the Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences Building, Room 129 (932-1580).
