  • GEG 274: INTRODUCTION TO GIS

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    Geographic information systems (GIS) are a major tool for the analysis of spatial data. This course introduces the student to the theoretical, conceptual and practical aspects of the collection, storage, analysis and display of spatial data. The applications of GIS by geographers, educators, scientists, planners, and businessmen to real-world problems will be emphasized.

  • GEG 304: WEATHER ANALYSIS

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course introduces the practice of observing and diagnosing synoptic- and meso-scale weather systems and the theories behind the development and movement of these systems. The course culminates on an application of these diagnostic techniques on the various components of the mid-latitude cyclone; including but not limited to, cyclone lifecycles, fronts, and jet streams.

  • GEG 322: CLIMATOLOGY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    The focus is on causes of climate, climate regions, climate change, and advantages and limitations of climate to human geography. The influences that the climate system has on plants, soils, water supply, human adaptations, urban living, and agricultural economics are examined. This approach provides valuable background material to other advanced courses in geography and to other related courses in the natural sciences. This course is a general education, natural science elective.

  • GEG 330: CARTOGRAPHY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course serves as an introduction to Cartography. The successful student will become proficient in the collection, manipulation, generalization, and the proper visual presentation of geographic data. Emphasis is placed on the proper use of the graphic elements and visual variables, and on appropriate means of data manipulation. Students study the nature of cartography, the geographic coordinate system, map scale, map projections, map design, symbolization, data manipulation, the major classes of maps, and map reproduction. This course is laboratory intensive and emphasizes cartography in the ArcGIS computer environment. (4 c.h., 3 s.h.)

  • GEG 335: POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    Current world and national problems are analyzed within the framework of systematic political geography. Attention will be focused on world trouble spots, elections, boundary friction, resource allocation, population pressure, and military strategy from a geographical stand-point. Elements of Cultural Geography or a basic Political Science course would be valuable preparation for this course, but are not prerequisite.
