| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This core course provides cadets with a fundamental understanding of scientific principles and processes of earth science, meteorology, climatology, geomorphology and environmental systems, as well as an introduction to cultural geography. Further, the course introduces cadets to technical skills - (terrain analysis, image interpretation and spectral analysis, remote sensing, global positioning system, geographic information systems cartography) - to delineate the geographic distribution of landforms, weather, climate, and culture systems; and evaluate their potential impact on military operations. Lessons are reinforced by use of in- and out-of-class practical exercises, terrain walks and computer exercises to demonstrate the interrelationship between physical and human processes, and their impact on the environment. Historical and contemporary vignettes are employed to demonstrate how weather, climate, terrain, soils, vegetation and culture are important, cogent and frequently decisive in military operations. | |||||||||

| This core course provides cadets with a fundamental understanding of scientific principles and processes of earth science, meteorology, climatology, geomorphology and environmental systems, as well as an introduction to cultural geography. Further, the course furnishes cadets with the technical skills - digital terrain analysis, image interpretation and spectral analysis, remote sensing, global positioning system, geographic information systems cartography - to delineate the geographic distribution of landforms, weather, climate, and culture systems; and evaluate their potential impact on military operations. Lessons are reinforced by extensive use of in- and out-of-class practical exercises, terrain walks and computer exercises to demonstrate the interrelationship between physical and human systems, and their impact on the environment. Historical vignettes are employed to demonstrate how the factors of weather, climate, terrain, soils, vegetation and culture are important, cogent and frequently decisive in military operations. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| The course provides the student with a basic understanding of the earth/environmental sciences and the necessary knowledge and techniques to conduct a comprehensive terrain analysis at the area or local level using atlases, maps, remotely sensed imagery, and geographic information systems. The student initially gains an understanding of the atmosphere, biosphere, earth landforms, and urban environments, then applies that knowledge in interpreting various maps, atlases and the different forms of remotely sensed imagery. The acquired knowledge and skills are subsequently used by the student to conduct a comprehensive geographic area analysis of a selected military operational area. Throughout the course historical and contemporary examples are used to examine the effects of weather, climate, and terrain on military operations, and to understand the environmental consequences of human activity. | |||||||||
