GEOG 286: ANALYSIS OF MOVEMNT
University of California, Santa Barbara
Many geographic, social, and natural systems involve dynamic processes or m ovement of individuals in space and time. Examples include animal migration , human mobility, disease diffusion, and natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires. Movement is key to understanding these dynamic processes. T his course reviews computational methods for analysis, modeling and simulat ion of movement in ecological and human systems. Students gain an understa nding of spatiotemporal processes and patterns, and develop computational s kills to process trajectory data, analyze movement patterns, and apply move ment models. Through a final capstone project, students study a spatiotempo ral problem in depth and write a research paper.
