Recent developments in geographic information science and big data often provide new and important insights to many analytical problems geographers face in their research. This course introduces students to some of the most innovative advances in GIScience and big data analytics, and also their applications in geographic and health research, including: Space-time GIS, Three-dimensional geovisualization methods, Geocomputation, Mobile and movement data and their analytics, Qualitative GIS for mixed-method research, Critical reflections of GIS on applications, Social media data and analytics, and Network-based GIS methods.

This shift has been motivated by the reluctance of national governments to take significant action on climate change as well as local government already being the locus for policies on issues such as waste and sanitation management. Does shifting climate action to the urban scale make it possible to continue business as usual, or does it offer the potential for new ways of doing things that are more environmentally and socially just? In this course, we will explore a variety of social science approaches to this question of the city as the site of sustainability, including quantitative approaches to the effects of environmental policy; practice theory and the role of households and individuals in reducing environmental impacts; neoliberalism and the push for a “sustainability fix”; the concept of “just sustainability” and equity in current and future environments; socio-technical transitions; and urban experiments in climate governance.
