GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis using ArcGIS Course
Details
Introduction
GIS is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographically referenced data. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology. This course introduces GIS concepts and ArcGIS tools used to visualize real-world features, discover patterns, and communicate information. Using ArcMap and ArcGIS Online, the participants will work with GIS maps, explore data, and analyze maps and data as you learn fundamental concepts that underlie GIS technology.
Objectives
- Share GIS maps and analysis results.
- Find and organize geographic data and other content for a mapping project.
- Display features on a GIS map and access information about them.
- Perform spatial analysis to answer questions.
