In this free Map and Data Library workshop, you will learn how to use open data and geoprocessing tools to perform spatial analysis and develop problem-solving workflows. Using ArcGIS Pro, we'll model a real-world problem and walk through the steps of gathering and assessing relevant data, applying effective symbolization, performing analysis using geoprocessing tools, and developing data-driven insights.

We'll also consider how you might design your analyses in a thoughtful way, by considering what data and techniques are appropriate for your problem, how to evaluate the quality and accuracy of your data and results, and how to communicate your findings effectively.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

    • Understand GIS as a problem-solving technology

    • Find and visualize data on a map

    • Apply geoprocessing and analysis tools to perform spatial operations

    • Interpret and communicate the results of your analysis

    • Design your analysis with data and techniques that suit your problem

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your GIS skills with ArcGIS Pro. We look forward to seeing you there!
