President Martin and members of the senior staff will share their reflections on the year, update you on college priorities and developments in staff life, and respond to your questions and comments.
Mapping Geographic Data with ArcGIS
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a powerful tool to discover spatial relationships and illuminate your research with intuitive maps:
• Illustrate historic sites and extract features from old maps;
• Spatially correlate census, economic, and other data;
• Display geologic formations and delineate watersheds;
• Track human, animal, and plant populations; and
• Map locations from a GPS receiver.
You will learn about:
• Constructing and Sharing Maps (including with Google Earth);
• Mapping Named Data (including census data and street addresses);
• Mapping Coordinate Data (including using a GPS receiver);
• Mapping Image Data (including scanned maps and satellite data); and
• Extracting Map Features
This workshop is in four parts:
• Tuesdays, June 11,18, 25, and July 2
Snacks and drinks will be provided!
