GEOG 8282 - CyberGIS and Big Data


CyberGIS and big data represent two emerging themes in the study of geographic information science. As geospatial technologies advance, big spatial data are increasingly available. However, the processing and analytics of these big spatial data represent a challenge. Cyberinfrastructure-enabled GIS (i.e., CyberGIS) provides solid support for resolving this challenge. The significance of CyberGIS in handling big spatial data analytics has been well recognized. This course focuses on the key capabilities of CyberGIS: high-performance and parallel spatial computing, spatial cloud computing, and big data analytics. It also exposes students to cutting-edge cyberinfrastructure theories, methods, and geospatial applications. Students benefit from this course by learning how to leverage state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure-enabled GIS technologies for the resolution of complex spatiotemporal problems. With training from cyber-enabled GIS and big data, students are very productive in their specific domains and competitive in their future career.
