The module will introduce the main complementary methodologies with geocomputation: geographical information systems; spatial statistics; exploratory spatial data analysis; and the science of spatial data handling. It covers fundamental concepts, techniques and ideas that shape Spatial eHumanities and associated GIS Software. The module will be taught as a mix of lectures and practicals. The lecture series will introduce key concepts and analytical approaches used within GI Science including; the foundations of GIS, spatial data models, data input and output, core spatial modelling and specialist analytical approaches and techniques. The practicals will be based around FOSS software including QGIS and R
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module, students should be able to: Explain GIS concepts and techniques Review methods and techniques in geocomputation Demonstate competence in geographic information systems software.
