Hello! My name is Ashley Bahrey and I am a junior Zoology, Environmental Science, and Geography major. I am from Bristolville, Ohio and I like to make jewelry and crochet in my spare time. I also have three cats that I love and adore!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon poking my OWU ArcGIS Online account, I was able to discover a lot about Esri and the resources that I can interact with. I did not expect the available training courses to have estimated completion times ranging from hours to weeks. I also found the Field Operations training curriculum category surprising, but it certainly makes sense that enhancing field data collection accuracy would improve the overall efficiency of GIS projects. I have stumbled upon the Esri Community page while troubleshooting for desktop GIS and I think it\u2019s really cool that there is a public place where users can come together to solve problems and the records of these exchanges can be used to craft a solution to a similar issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading through \u201cGet Started: What Is ArcGIS Online\u201d exposed me to loads of awesome tools I will be able to use to visualize 2D and 3D data with ArcGIS Online. I learned that the ArcGIS Notebook Editor includes a Tasks feature that allows you to schedule notebooks to run automatically, meaning ArcGIS can process data or generate reports on a set schedule without you having to run them manually. I was also introduced to Instant Apps for quickly building web apps, Web AppBuilder for more customizable apps, and Field Apps for data collection in the field, which are selected based on what you want the app to do (viewing, analyzing, or collecting geographic data).<\/span><\/p>\n

ArcGIS Online Basics Training Course:<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The ArcGIS Online Basics training course showcases the general capabilities of ArcGIS Online and provides a good summary of web layer types and functions. The scenarios for choosing the appropriate sharing level (private, group, organization, or public) at the end of section 3 demonstrated why it is important to consider who can access your organization\u2019s content in certain scenarios. Section 4 taught me about how ArcGIS app builders allow you to create interactive web apps without coding, offering tools like Instant Apps, Dashboards, StoryMaps, and Experience Builder to enhance your content and engage your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two Esri online training courses that look interesting to me are \u201cGetting Started with Data Management\u201d and \u201cUsing GIS to Solve Problems\u201d. I believe that learning how GIS data is structured, stored, and accessed as well as a five-step process to solve a problem using GIS would better equip me with the skills to utilize GIS efficiently in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

This map is found in a StoryMap made in ArcGIS Online which recaps a 2021 study led by Atreyi Guin, graduate student at the University of Michigan, that identified the stream networks vulnerable to pesticide (atrazine) contamination within the North Raccoon River Watershed in northern Iowa using the weighted overlay method in ArcGIS Pro. 55% of streams fall under the risk of being contaminated with pesticides from the adjacent corn fields and of those \u201cat risk\u201d streams, nearly 19% are in close proximity to highly populated areas with a population of more than 10,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a map of Superfund reuse sites, or formerly contaminated Superfund sites that have since been remediated and are being repurposed for new, safe, and productive uses (green space, commercial, residential, public service, industrial, military\/federal use, or mixed use projects) in Ohio. Data points were obtained from the Superfund Enterprise Management Systems (SEMS) database and the map is updated as more sites are placed into reuse (last updated on October 8th, 2024).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
