A look at the theory and application of Geographical Information Systems – Dr Gwilym Eades

This lecture gives an overview of key theories of geographical information systems as well as practical applications of geographical information systems (GIS) including disaster management and public health mapping. We take a critical approach to GIS, including coverage of topics addressing A level modules, human geography, and geopolitics. Indigenous countermapping and social implications of GIS give students a critical edge in assessing the technology alongside practice and theory.

This lecture links with the following elements of the A-Level syllabus:
Modules - Human Systems and Geopolitics Area of Study, Human Geography.
Links to: Geographical skills: combining qualitative and quantitative approaches “use and understand a mixture of methodological approaches” “understand what makes data geographical and the geospatial technologies”
