Description

See also: Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Sustainable Human Systems

This workshop builds on Spatial Analysis and Modeling, Part I by exploring more advanced training in spatial theory and methods and their application to unique geographic problems.  The workshop will expand on spatial analysis concepts and topics including hydrologic and terrain analysis, spatial interpolation (geostatistics), spatial statistics (point, areal pattern analysis), and building more complex models (ArcGIS ModelBuilder and introductory concepts of Python scripting for ArcGIS). Related software for conducting spatial analysis will also be presented. Training will primarily be based on the ArcGIS 10 suite of software.

 

Participants should have prior experience with GIS and Spatial Analysis before taking this workshop as it builds on fundamental spatial analysis concepts.

 

Workshop Format:
Approximately 50% lecture, 50% hands on training via guided lab exercises completed individually on computers.

 

OBJECTIVES
By attending the course, participants will:
1) Develop a more advanced understanding of the spatial analysis and modeling of geographic information.
2) Understand the appropriate application of spatial techniques to spatial data including the use of spatial statistical methods, interpolation (geostatistics), and hydrological modeling.
3) Understand how to build complex geoprocessing models for analysis using ArcGIS ModelBuilder.
4) Develop an introductory knowledge of scripting for ArcGIS using Python.

 

This course is part of a larger GIS series. If you'd like to see more about the series and how this course fits into it, please visit:

Deadline for payment is 5 p.m. Friday, October 20, 2017.  If we have not received your payment at that time, your place may be forfeit to someone on our waiting list.  Cancellations prior to that date will receive a refund of payment minus a $50 processing fee.  We reserve the right to cancel the workshop prior to October 25, 2017; in that event, we will give full refunds. We do not allow registration 'trading,' even to persons within the same organization.  Please let us know as soon as you know if you have registered and cannot attend as there is usually an extensive waiting list for our trainings and we use substantial funds to subsidize workshop expenses, helping to make them more affordable.
