Anderson, Andy (aanderson) 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
• 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)
• Extracting Map Features

This workshop is in three parts (additional meetings may be arranged if there is interest):

• Monday through Wednesday, June 5 – 7, 6–9 p.m.; light dinner provided at 5:30 p.m.
