About this Event

Jumpstart your understanding of geographic information systems (GIS), a powerful tool for mapping and analyzing spatial data. Discover how GIS can support your research, and how the ArcGIS platform—a robust, user-friendly, web-enabled mapping tool—can help explain and display your data to a wider audience.

During this workshop, learn the essential concepts of GIS, including layers, imaging and the types of software needed for GIS analysis. You will also be introduced to the Esri product stack and its licensing—including ArcGIS Pro, the desktop GIS software; and ArcGIS Online, the cloud GIS solution—and explore how it can support your research.

The workshop will be led by Olena Smith, lead geospatial information consultant for UD IT Research Cyberinfrastructure; Lillian Wang, GIS specialist and cartographer for the Delaware Geological Survey; and Daniel Peart, data services librarian. It is co-sponsored by UD IT Research Cyberinfrastructure, the Delaware Geological Survey and the Graduate College.

This hybrid workshop is open to UD students, faculty and staff.

Registration is required. You may choose to join us in person or via Zoom. Once registered, you will receive an email with details on how to join the workshop via Zoom. The workshop will not be recorded.
