Hi! My name is Samuel Baer. I am a junior from Mt. Gilead Ohio studying environmental science and geography.<\/span><\/p>\n

I took the quiz and I have made my appointments for weeks 2 and 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poking around the account was interesting. I wish My ERSI was a little more accessible but it’s fine. Also I think it was funny to see some of the community posts. Some of them were interesting, and some of them were a little strange.<\/span><\/p>\n

The starting page was fine. I felt like the training was better at explaining everything, but if I was trying to refresh myself this article would be fine. It is a really good spot to quickly trouble shoot any issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

The training wasn’t as meticulous as I was expecting. I liked that we were doing the practice maps with mountains,\u00a0 just because I like that kind of stuff. I also thought the 3D imaging was cool. To be honest I would do that to plan a hiking or backpacking trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the two applications I found was\u00a0 of Indian Ocean Ostracod sites. Having these sites mapped out allows them to overlay them with other environmental factors like wind and temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

The second application I found was from the Kansas Geological Survey. The map is a lot, but it shows constructed, reconstructed, and plugged wells in Kansas. This could help the state evaluate water management during extreme droughts. or they could use it to evaluate where to put a new farm.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And finally I found two courses:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Field Data Collection and management Using ArcGIS<\/li>\n
  • Take Your Web Maps Offline with ArcGIS Field Maps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    I liked these because they both felt like extremely practical applications for GIS. They seem like they would be really useful longterm.<\/p>\n
