About this Event

Your research tells a story. By using geographic information systems (GIS) to help map and analyze your spatial data, you provide a framework for your research. Learn how to use ArcGIS StoryMaps, a web-mapping application from Esri, to help fill in the details.

During this workshop, discover how to present data and selected multimedia in a user-friendly geographical context. You will learn how to create inspiring stories by combining interactive maps, text, images and other multimedia content.

The workshop will be led by Lillian Wang, GIS specialist and cartographer for the Delaware Geological Survey; Andrea Wedo, GIS professional at Jacobs; Olena Smith, lead geospatial information consultant for UD IT Research Cyberinfrastructure; 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. Researchers with an interest in tying multimedia content to specific physical locations are encouraged to attend.

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.
