Geographic Information Systems

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing location-based data and associated attributes. Coursera's GIS catalogue teaches you about the principles and applications of GIS, from creating maps to performing spatial analysis. You'll learn how to leverage GIS technology to visualize, question, analyze, and interpret data to better understand relationships, patterns, and trends in the world around us. You'll also delve into topics like geocoding, remote sensing, spatial statistics, and GIS software tools. These skills will be invaluable in fields such as urban planning, environmental science, transportation, and public health, where understanding the geographic aspect of data is critical.
