Krygier Week 1

Posted onAuthorjbkrygier

This is your instructor, John Krygier, late on posts. I plan to follow along and do the work in the class as the tutorial (Web GIS, 5th edition) has been updated since I did it last year. I’m already behind.

I hope the tutorial has fewer challenges, as it just came out last year. Regardless, as I’ve said repeatedly, please do your due diligence in completing the chapters in the tutorial and note any issues. If they are minor, don’t worry about it. If they are issues that stop you from completing a significant part of the chapter, note them in the blog posting and direct my attention to the issue.

I have given you access to “educational materials” for the class, and actually broke the rules and took the paper copy of the tutorial home with me this weekend.

I’m signed up and into ArcGIS Online and on this blog as requested.

I’ve poked around the ArcOnline account in the past, and also looked at the training materials. What a treasure trove!

I googled around and found these neat applications:

This is the iMapInvasives site created to allow the public to add invasive species they have spotted to the database of invasives for the state. This is an example of citizen science. https://www.nyimapinvasives.org/public-map

 

 

 

 

 

This example is providing access to data, probably generated in ArcGIS Pro, related to climate change mitigation in relation to low-income communities. https://webmaps.arb.ca.gov/PriorityPopulations/

 

 

Skidmore Week 3

Posted onAuthorcaskidmore

Chapter 1

The chapter discusses general use cases and an understanding of how to use Web GIS. For me, this was the first time making an app inside of Web GIS which I found personally interesting.

Chapter 2

The chapter discusses generally how to tell a story using Web GIS, in this scenario, it was showing how population trends have been changing since 2010-2016 to tell the story of the US Population

App Example

The scenario in Chapter 1 is a good use case of Delaware Data to create an interactive map throughout campus with pictures and details.

Skidmore Week 1

Posted onAuthorcaskidmore

Hello!
I am Connor Skidmore a first-year student majoring in Environmental Studies and focusing on ESG work and Environmental Consulting.

ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Online is used generally in tandem with ArcGIS Pro usually in the field where a computer that can run ArcGIS Pro is unavailable. So they will use ArcGIS Online to create a map and then later use Pro to analyze the map created.

ArcGIS Online Basics
I learned about Apps and how they can be used instead of maps or scenes.

Uses of ArcGIS Online
– Natural disasters, risk salience, and corporate ESG disclosure (ArcGIS Online ESG)
In this example, ArcGIS was used to find the approximate distance from the headquarters of these institutions in relation to disasters and they found the ESG disclosures became more consistent with disasters.

– Interactive Geoinformation Three-Dimensional Model of a Landscape Park Using Geoinformatics Tools (ArcGIS Online Park Management)
In this example, ArcGIS was used to create a map that will better allow park management to better utilize the land inside of the park and further understands the barriers within the park.
