Big Geospatial Data Analysis: Curriculum
Description
In this course the students gain knowledge about basic technologies of big data analysis, as well
as gain insights into the complex phenomena in the geospatial domain.
Topics related to geospatial analysis, complex networks, map generalization and visualization in
the big data era will be covered, and in-course discussions and labs.

Requirements
The course addresses students of the master and PhD programme “Geomatics Engineering”,“GIS
and Cartography” and “Planning” at School of Resource and Environmental Sciencesand students
ofgeography at Wuhan University. Thesuccessful graduation of the course “Cartography“ at the
Department of Cartography andGeoinformation is recommended.
Before this course, the students are recommended to read through the reading list to gain a
basic background of the course and the line of discussion.Also students are recommended to
take with their laptops to the classroom for exercise and labs.
