Differentiate the interpretation of a series of three maps and a single multivariate map, each representing the same three related variables
Design a single map symbol that can be used to symbolize a set of related variables
Create a map that displays related variables using different mapping methods (e.g., choropleth
and proportional symbol, choropleth and cartogram) Create a map that displays related variables using the same mapping method (e.g., bivariate choropleth map, bivariate dot map)
Design a map series to show the change in a geographic pattern over time
Detect a multivariate outlier using a combination of maps and graphs
Explain the relationship among several variables in a parallel coordinate plot
This short article introduces the definition of buffer and explains how buffers are created for single or multiple geographic features of different geometric types. It also discusses how buffers are generated differently in vector and raster data models and based on the concept of cost.
List the likely sources of error in slope and aspect maps derived from digital elevation models (DEMs) and state the circumstances under which these can be very severe
Outline how higher order derivatives of height can be interpreted
Explain how slope and aspect can be represented as the vector field given by the first derivative of height
Explain why the properties of spatial continuity are characteristic of spatial surfaces
Explain why zero slopes are indicative of surface specific points such as peaks, pits, and passes, and list the conditions necessary for each
Design an algorithm that calculates slope and aspect from a triangulated irregular network (TIN) model
Outline a number of different methods for calculating slope from a DEM
Identify the hardware and space that will be needed for a GIS implementation
Compare and contrast the relative merits of housing GISs within IT (information technology) and MIS (management information system) facilities versus keeping them separate
Collaborate effectively with various units in an institution to develop efficient hardware and space solutions
Hypothesize the ways in which capital needs for GIS may change in the future
