From Map to Analysis
  • Make a map
  • Intro to GIS
  • Geospatial Analysis

I need GIS

Mimic Data Carpentry with local campus data

  • Flush out what we want the end product to look like

Annotation vs geospatial data

Types of data:

  • Vector: Difference between point, line, and polygon
  • Raster: an array of values that can be used
    • Single band
    • Multibands

Projections? Reprojection (raster, polygons)

  • Import point data from a csv
  • Zonal statistics (simple)

Add raster with another projection

  • NCOS? Bird observations (might becsv)
  • Topographic map to compute solar panels location (maybe workshop 3?)
  • Facilities data (buildings)
  • DEM
  • Bike paths
  • Trees

Potential simple analysis as end product

  • Zonal statistics
  • Count number of points within a polygon
  • Heatmap from points
  • Buffering

Exporting data from GIS

  • Shapefile
  • geodatabase

What tool?

  • ArcGIS online
  • ArcGIS pro
  • QGIS
