This 3-day, hands-on class introduces participants to the environmental applications of ESRI's new ArcGIS PRO software. All attendees will have their own workstation with ArcGIS Pro and applicable plugins.

The course will build upon a discussion of general concepts and vocabulary to form a comprehensive overview of ArcGIS Pro’s functions and uses in the environmental field. Each participant will have their own computer workstation to create, edit, display and analyze real world environmental data during numerous hands-on exercises. Course exercises build from foundation concepts to increasingly complex spatial analysis and in-depth projects.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Apply a conceptual overview of GIS and spatial analysis to environmental data

• Understand and utilize the fundamental capabilities of ArcGIS Pro

• Conduct spatial analysis using ArcGIS Pro

• Use common geoprocessing tools such as buffers, unions, intersections, and clips

• Identify and analyze spatial relationships between layers of geographic data

• Perform complex relational database queries

• Generate presentation-quality maps
