GIS for Water Resources.
I started teaching at Portland State University in March 2011. Between 2011 and 2014 I taught "GIS for Water Resources" in the Geography Department. This was the course description.
Course Description
This course will introduce students to real-world examples of how GIS can be used to investigate and resolve water-resource issues. Topics will vary from general hydrologic modeling to specific case studies that examine watershed characterization, bathymetric modeling, and even riparian buffer analysis using LiDAR point cloud data. The emphasis of this course is to develop useful analytical GIS skills while examining the natural world around you.
