• GEOG 343: Fresh Water Resources

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Focuses on surface and groundwater as a resource with unique properties. Fresh water is defined physically by storage in the hydrologic cycle and the values assigned by different cultures. Problems featured relate to consumptive and withdrawal water uses, the problems of water supply and scarcity, water law and its inconsistencies, flooding and floodplain management, sources of contamination and pollution, wetlands, and case studies of selected river basins.Previously Offered As: (Also offered as RGPL 343; may not be taken for duplicate credit.)

• GEOG 425: Global Positioning Systems Concepts and Techniques

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Provides knowledge of the theoretical basis and practical applications of global positioning systems (GPS). Students gain hands-on experience using GPS receivers and GPS observables, as well as the ability to determine point and relative position fixes from pseudorange and carrier phase measurements. Students are exposed to industry-standard GPS hardware and software, as well as appropriate techniques for processing GPS data to achieve necessary levels of horizontal and vertical positional accuracy. Integration of GPS and geographic information systems (GIS) will also be discussed.
