Course Structure Geographic Theory!!! (not much) Geographic Space – Earth’s shape..? Datums, Projections, Coordinate Systems Exercise book split into chapters I will go over the main concepts for a chapter and demonstrate them on the screen Then you will follow the current Chapter in the book to perform a series of steps intended to solidify the concepts Once you have had chance to finish the exercises, I will summarize the material again GIS Project.. Subject to time

Datums, Coordinate Systems, and Projections

Spherical Earth…

Ellipsoid

Gravity! The Geoid

Reference Ellipsoid

Datum Reference Points

Datum  Coordinate System NAD 27

Datum NAD 83

Datum  Coordinate System  Projection

True earth shape  Geoid  Reference Ellipsoid  Datum  Coordinate System  Projection  Flat Map!

Projection
