gis analysis

No place on earth is completely safe from meteorological, climatological, hydrological, and geophysical hazard phenomena. Yet, we can anticipate disasters by mapping the potential intersection of hazard phenomena with human settlements. This knowledge can be used to reduce or avoid hazard impacts in our communities.

This course provides students with knowledge & skills to model hazard vulnerability using ArcGIS Pro. We will discover where to obtain data and explore different methods for integrating social & physical vulnerability analyses within a geospatial model.
