ArcGIS for Spatial Analysis

• An understanding of basic spacial data concepts.

Audience

• Field Ecologists
• Conservation Managers

ArcGIS* is a geographic information system for working with maps and geographic information. Use and implement common GIS techniques in ArcGIS to create data spatial projects.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at field ecologists and conservation managers who wish to create data spatial projects in ArcGIS.

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

• Output spatial data as visualizations, such as maps.
• Conduct geostatics on actual data.
• Implement spatial data analysis, data processing, and mapping with ArcGIS.
• Analyze spatial data for projects in ArcGIS.

Format of the Course

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

Course Customization Options
