The goal of the workshop is to enhance geospatial education by integrating major issues of environmental change into the GIS curricula. This 3-day workshop will introduce GIS faculty and instructors from U.S. universities and colleges to fundamental concepts of atmospheric and related sciences. Participants will learn about state-of-the-art research in weather, climate, and societal applications. The workshop will include lectures, small group discussions, and GIS exercises. Participants will gain necessary knowledge and will have all workshop materials to teach these concepts to their GIS students.
