Campus Map with Group GPS Mapping Component part of GIS and Remote Sensing:Activities2
This is a teaching activity page detailing a GIS and GPS-based undergraduate assignment where students collect campus feature data using GPS units, create shapefiles from Excel data, and integrate them into ArcGIS maps with MrSID imagery, focusing on coordinate systems, digitizing, and map effectiveness, part of the On the Cutting Edge peer-reviewed geoscience education collection.

Electromagnetic Radiation Principles: Reflectance part of GIS and Remote Sensing:Activities2
This peer-reviewed educational activity page details a hands-on undergraduate remote sensing exercise where students investigate how surface reflectance properties—such as specular and diffuse reflection—and sensor geometry (azimuth and zenith angles)—influence remotely sensed brightness, using physical materials like sandpaper, metal, and felt under controlled lighting.

GIS for Environmental Studies part of GIS and Remote Sensing:Courses
The study of the environment is inherently spatial and global in nature. One way to view and analyze data in a geographic context is through using a geographic information system (GIS). GIS is typically a ...
