This module will introduce students to elements of traditional cartography, digital mapping, and visualisation for the presentation and analysis of geospatial data and the results of spatial analyses. Emphasis will be placed on the development of an appreciation of the importance of traditional and electronic map design and the use of colour as a key to effective communication when producing maps from GIS, visualisation, and image processing software. This will include coverage of scientific visualisation and geovisualisation including animation, interactivity, electronic atlases, and multimedia visualisation. Practical experience of selected software will be gained e.g. MapViewer, Surfer, Voxler, ArcGIS and Fledermaus.
