Students in WebGIS will explore web-based applications in Geographic Information Science (GIS). This course will focus on hands-on practice using and building web-based mapping and analysis platforms, including ArcGIS Online, Open Street Map, Leaflet, Mapbox, and others. Along with conceptual discussion of how the internet, web servers, and cloud-based GIS services function, students will create and host web services, design websites, and create products relevant to their coursework, research, or professional goals.

This class serves as an introduction to Geographic Information Science (GIS). GIS is the science of spatial relationships, linking data to locations to explore relations between objects. Based in geographic thought and emerging from initial applications in natural resource management, GIS has evolved to be a universally applicable way of thinking and set of knowledge, skills, and practices. The goals of this course are to teach you basic GIS concepts through practice and theory, to enable you to make useful and meaningful contributions to various disciplines through spatial analysis.

The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of Massachusetts wetlands regulations and techniques for wetlands assessments with an emphasis on wildlife habitat evaluation. Indoor lectures for the first eight weeks of the course are used to familiarize students with various assessment methodologies as well as Massachusetts wetlands protection regulations. Outdoor labs during the last five weeks of the semester will provide opportunities to apply information learned in lectures and gain experience conducting assessments in the field.
