Geog 353 Laboratory Information
Last Update: 11/7/09
The core of Geography 353 is the laboratory project: students will locate relevant data, clean up and process the data so it can be mapped in ArcGIS (GIS and mapping software), and design and produce a series of maps based on the data. Students will learn to construct HTML pages, containing the project maps, which will be placed on the WWW. A Fall 2009 date on a lab means the lab has been updated for the current semester.
