Building upon UC Davis Extension's other foundational courses in GIS, this course provides an overview of how real-world environmental data are used in applied decision making. Lectures and hands-on projects will be based on existing problems in water management and watershed science and will use ArcGIS 10 to explore basic GIS techniques of watershed analysis. Gain practical knowledge to incorporate field data, summarize both vector and raster overlays, and make informative maps that can be used in resource decision-making settings. Enrollment is limited to 24 participants to allow for adequate hands-on training. Early enrollment is encouraged. This course is recommended for students who have limited GIS experience and intend to take GIS for Watershed Analysis: Intermediate.
