Isaacs Week 1

I am Henry Isaacs I am from northern Ohio and am a sophomore at Ohio Wesleyan University. I am on the Baseball team here and am a Quantitative Economics and Data Analytics major. 

I completed the quiz. I have access to the ARCGIS account from 291.

Through exploring around in the Esri pages and training I found that there a lot of different trainings you can do and some of them take a significant amount of time like one took 6 weeks. I also found that some of the pages like the ARCGIS Pro page wasn’t available at the time. 

On the Get started page I found out that you can collaborate on projects with other people from out organization which would be cool. I also learned about the scene viewer tool and how you can visualize things in 3D.

I have completed the Web Course: ArcGIS Online Basics training and thought it was a good refresher of what it ARCGIS is and its many applications. I thought it was useful and even taught me new stuff like when creating and editing web maps. 

The first GIS application I looked into is fisheries management. This application is useful for providing information specifically to where fishing activity takes place in the world. The website showed how you can create maps to show density on fishing activity and other interesting visuals. 

 

The next application I looked into is the application to stream and river fisheries. Using GIS you can map and model habitats with different aquatic life. The website mentioned how this use of GIS is inter

esting because rivers and streams are always changing.
