| Security has become a critical issue in recent years. Geographic Information System (GIS) has been used in the defense and intelligence fields for decades and plays vital roles in a number of areas that now come under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security. This course presents a selection of the wide range of topics that plays a role in national security both domestically and in the international arena. Case studies range from large-scale, facility-based security assessment to national level modeling. Key organizations and data sources are reviewed. Participant tasks include conceptual problem solving, team-based analysis and hands-on computer exercises.
This course is part of the GIS Professional Certificate and the GIS Technical Certificate. |
