ArcMap in ArcGIS

• Basic computer skills
• Familiarity with GIS concepts

Audience

• Environmental scientists
• Archaeologists

ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) software suite developed by Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute) that provides tools for mapping, spatial analysis, and managing geographic information. ArcMap is a component of the ArcGIS Desktop suite used for creating, viewing, analyzing, and editing geographic maps and data.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level environmental scientists and archaeologists who wish to learn how to use ArcMap in ArcGIS for collecting, organizing, managing, and analyzing geographic information.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of ArcMap and ArcGIS.
• Collect, organize, manage, and analyze geographic information on the social and archaeological elements.
• Conduct spatial queries for impact evaluation.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
