About the course

To solve wicked environmental problems, the world needs professionals and researchers who can manipulate and analyze complex environmental data The past few decades have seen an explosion in the amount, variety, and complexity of spatial environmental data that is now available to address a wide range of issues in environment and sustainability. Informatics and data science skills have become increasingly valuable and professionals and researchers possessing these skills are in high demand. The interdisciplinary Geospatial Data Sciences field of study prepares environmental professionals and researchers to develop and use analytical and computer-intensive data-science methods to assess and steward the Earth’s landscapes and natural resources to achieve a sustainable society. Students learn to apply geospatial data science and modeling principles and tools across fields as diverse as geography and land use, social sciences including environmental justice, policy analysis, business, sustainable systems, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem management, and coupled human-natural systems and environmental justice.
