This course provides hands-on training in geospatial data collection and associated mapping skills, partitioned into three 1-credit modules. The first module will cover ArcGIS Online (AGO) apps coupled with ArcGIS Pro to collect data using your own smartphone. The second module is focused on employing survey-grade Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS, e.g., GPS) instruments to collect high-resolution positional information of environmental parameters, including the use of real time kinematic correction techniques. The final module covers emerging tools in geospatial data collection, with a focus on unoccupied aircraft, and aerial and terrestrial LIDAR. Recommended prerequisite: Environment 559.
