Introduction to the principles of cartography, geography and the use of maps in geologic applications. Emphasis is placed on the different map projections, their uses, and limitations. GIS will focus on the development and use of GPS (global positioning systems), geologic data collection, analysis and display of information from digital data. Lab work will include the use and interpretation of maps and PC based computer GIS systems to project data sets in a variety of geological and specifically, petroleum exploration applications.
