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.

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.
