Computer Science

CS 250 Section 1
Introduction to Geographic Information Systems
A practical introduction to the Geographic Information System (GIS) software from ESRI Corp. This pc-version, ArcView, is designed to view and edit (and create in a limited way) the map databases assembled by its workstation parent, ArcInfo. ArcView is an excellent teaching tool. These applications are industry- standard throughout the federal-state government system. They store and recall geographic environmental data in response to questions on resource management. A similar process is combining several color transparencies to see areas of overlap, where each layer displays a different resource: geology, roads, hydrology, power lines, tax maps, etc.

This course provides a detailed examination of the processes responsible for the geophysical form and evolution of the coastal zone and the methods used to study those processes. The course will coicide with a major multi-organization study of the South Shore beaches of the Hamptons and students will assist in the collection and analysis of the data. Students will gain hands-on experience with a variety of instruments and software programs and learn how data collected in the course, along with conceptual models of wave, current, sediment transport, and beach processes, apply to the coastal management issues of Long Island.
