Geog 353 Laboratory Information
Last Update: 11/28/12
The core of Geography 353 is the laboratory project: you will locate
relevant data, clean up and process the data so it can be mapped in ArcGIS (GIS
and mapping software), and design and produce a series of maps based on the
data. You will be astounded that you end up knowing how to construct HTML pages, containing the project maps,
which will be placed on the WWW. The WWW! Of all the damned things! A Fall 2012 date on a lab means the lab has
been updated for the current semester.
