Geocomputation

Automated geography helps us to understand the complex geographic phenomena that are intractable to solve by conventional techniques. This class focuses on opportunities for taking a computational approach to the solution of complex spatial problems, often non-deterministic. The goals of this course are to teach basic geocomputation concepts through theory and practice to enable students to better use the vast spatial data, exploit the value of these information resources and expand the spatial information towards analysis and modeling.

Cultural Geography

This course provides an overview of the field of cultural geography. The course focuses on spatial variations among cultural groups and the special functioning of society, and the changing and multifaceted relationships between people and the environments in which they reside. Students will learn the basic geographical tools and concepts needed to understand the intricacy of spaces and areas and to appreciate the interconnections between their lives and those of people in different parts of the world.
