Description
Embark on an exciting journey into the world of ArcGIS Pro with our video course, "Mastering ArcGIS Pro." This course is designed for everyone, from beginners to experienced GIS professionals, and covers everything from the basics to advanced geospatial analysis.
Start by exploring the ArcGIS Home Screen and learn how to create a new project step by step. Understand the project interface to efficiently organize and manage geospatial data within the ArcGIS Pro environment. Dive into geoferencing to align raster images with real-world coordinates using control points.
Test your skills with practical evaluations and move on to explore various tools for geospatial analysis. Gain hands-on experience with the Export Tool, where you'll convert and export shapefiles. Learn about merging, mosaic raster, clip, and extract by mask tools through real-world scenarios.
Throughout the course, assess your progress with tests and gain insights into exporting geospatial files in different formats. Explore effective data management using tools like Dissolve, Union, and Intersect for shapefile management and integration.
Delve into elevation data in both 2D and 3D environments, covering contours, contour maps, hillshade, and slope for terrain analysis.
Explore land cover analysis with different indices like NDVI, NDBI, and MNDWI, applying mathematical formulations and tools for calculation.
By the end of this course, you'll have a strong skill set in utilizing ArcGIS Pro for geospatial analysis and data manipulation across various applications. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced GIS professional, this course provides the knowledge and practical skills to excel in the world of geospatial technology.
