ArcGIS PRO: Geoprocessing-Advanced Techniques for Environmental Applications

Description:

This 3-day hands-on class introduces participants to the environmental applications of ESRI's ArcGIS 10 software. The course will build upon a discussion of general concepts and vocabulary to form a comprehensive overview of ArcGIS PRO’s functions and uses in the environmental field. Each participant will have their own computer workstation to create, edit, display and analyze real world environmental data during numerous hands-on exercises. On the third day, participants will have an opportunity to expand their skills by applying their knowledge to more complex and in-depth projects.

 

"Great overview of tools and tasks...Exercises were great at walking through and showing how each tool can be applied to real world situations."-Adam J, March 2014

"This course took me through a ton of useful information in just a short period of time, and the price was right!" Adam C, March 2014

"It is very applicable to my job duties, I will immediately be able to use these tools." -E. Moore, March 2013
 

"…very relevant to natural resource work. " -S. Miller, March 2013


After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Apply a conceptual overview of GIS and spatial analysis to environmental data
  • Understand and utilize the fundamental capabilities of ArcGIS
  • Conduct overlay analysis
  • Create intersects, buffers, unions and clips using the Geoprocessing Wizard
  • Measure spatial relationships between layers of geographic data
  • Perform complex relational database queries
  • Generate presentation-quality maps

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of computer operations.

*reduced tuition is available to employees of Native American tribes, government agencies, and nonprofits; students; and NAEP, NEBC, NWAEP members 

Please wait to receive a course confirmation email, roughly one month prior to the class, before making any travel arrangements.

Intended Audience:
