GSE 743 - Geospatial Analysis
This course covers concepts and methods of spatial data analysis, focusing on the analysis of broad-scale geographic datasets characterizing physical, biological, and socioeconomic landscapes features. Students learn to develop scientific hypotheses about spatial datasets and analytical techniques. Topics include exploratory data analysis, methods for quantifying spatial pattern, development of explanatory models to test spatial hypotheses, and development of predictive models for spatial interpolation. Prerequisites: One graduate level course in statistics (e.g. STAT 541 or equivalent). Cross-Listed: GEOG/NRM 743 Credits: 3

GSE 767 - Fire and Ecosystems
This course is a broad treatment of how fire and ecosystems combine to form the landscapes that we see. Course material examines the contributions of climate, topography, weather, and fuels to the fire environment and how these factors influence wildland fire behavior. We will explore the interactions between ecological processes and fire regimes in ecosystem dynamics and the ways in which human land use and land management affect the outcomes. Cross-Listed: GEOG/NRM/BIOL 767 Credits: 3
