地理科学高级文凭-地理信息系统（GIS）

地理信息系统专业是“地理科学”高级文凭课程的第二个选项。该计划于9月开始，您选择的集中度将从1月开始。在这一专长中，您将学习地理信息系统（GIS）或地理空间技术的编程和应用。在解决基于地理的问题时，应用了分析和技术工具（包括硬件和软件）来创建解决方案。地理空间信息将位置数据（事物所在的位置）与描述性数据（与每个位置相关的信息）链接在一起。您可以使用点（电线杆，矿场），线（河流中心线）和多边形（地块，县）来建模现实并提供地理信息。GIS技术提供了该信息的存储，分析和表示。
The Geographic Information Systems concentration is a second term option of the Geographic Sciences – Advanced Diploma program. The program starts in September, with your selected concentration starting in January. In this concentration, you study the programming and application of geographic information systems (GIS) or geospatial technology. In addressing geographically-based problems, analytical and technological tools (including hardware and software) are applied to create solutions. Geospatial information links locational data (where things are) with descriptive data (information that is associated with each location). You use points (utility poles, mine sites), lines (river centrelines) and polygons (land parcels, counties) to model reality and provide geographic information. GIS technology provides storage, analysis and presentation of that information.
