Events & Calendars Mapping Geographic Data with ArcGIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a powerful tool to discover spatial relationships and illuminate your research with intuitive maps:

• Illustrate historic sites and extract features from old maps;• Spatially correlate census, economic, and other data;• Display geologic formations and delineate watersheds;• Track human, animal, and plant populations; and• Map locations from a GPS receiver.

You will learn about:

• Constructing and Sharing Maps (including with Google Earth);• Mapping Named Data (including census data and street addresses);• Mapping Coordinate Data (including using a GPS receiver);• Mapping Image Data (including scanned maps and satellite data); and• Analyzing and extracting geographic data.

ArcGIS can be installed on faculty, staff, and student Windows computers, or on Macs running Windows under Parallels or a similar virtual machine (16 GB of total RAM is highly recommended!). Download ArcGIS Pro 3.1 from the Amherst Software Collection.
