Raster Spatial Analysis
Use raster and terrain data to analyze the cultural and natural environments to solve problems and address spatial questions using GIS and ArcGIS Pro. Learners will use a digital elevation model and ArcGIS Pro to model slope, aspect and other terrain derivatives. Map algebra (raster overlay) techniques will be used to 1) identify landscapes that meet certain conditions, 2) use Kriging to interpolate land polluted with Nitrates, and 3) visualize GIS data in 3-dimensions to get a better picture of the landscape.
• Analyze environmental and terrain features using raster data.
• Investigate spatial relationships using raster analytics.
• Model a surface using data interpolation methods.
• Visualize terrain features in 3-dimensions.
This course is expected to take roughly 180 minutes to complete.
Target Audience
Using raster GIS to solve problems and address questions. Advanced users.
