Is your understanding of Cloud GIS a bit hazy? Does thinking about it leave you in a fog? We've designed GEOG 865, Cloud and Server GIS, to help you understand how all of the various pieces of architecture fit together. By the end of the class you'll have a clear understanding of Esri's and others' offerings in the space, how to implement ArcGIS Enterprise on Amazon EC2, make online maps with Carto and Mapbox, and engage in some blue sky thinking of your own in our weekly discussions about trends and directions.

What Our Students Say
GEOG 865 was one of the most helpful and practical classes.
“Many people reference the cloud, but few grasp the correct vocabulary to articulate the different types of cloud services that would most benefit their personal, business, or professional goals. Geog 865 was one of the most helpful and practical classes to better understand cloud technologies and trends for GIS-specific applications, from storage to app design. After taking this class, I'm better prepared to engage IT professionals in my organization to explore new and innovative ways of utilizing cloud services.”
— Brookelynn Constant
