GIST 290A GISTAR Capstone Project

Students begin the independent completion of their master’s capstone project under the supervision of a GISTAR advisor, in collaboration with affiliated faculty or partnering research organizations. The course focuses on defining a project scope, establishing research questions, designing a geospatial workflow, and preparing the technical and analytical foundation for an applied GIS or remote sensing project. Students develop a formal project proposal and produce initial results that will guide their work in the second capstone course. Enrollment is restricted to GIST graduate students. Enrollment is restricted to GISTAR M.A. students who have completed their core courses. Enrollment requires a permission number. Email envsgpc@ucsc.edu.
