• XGIS 114-1: GIS Module Four - Vector GIS Analysis and Modelbuilder
• XGIS 115-1: GIS Module Five - Raster GIS Analysis
• XGIS 116-1: GIS Module Six - Tins, Perspectives, Flys, Referencing and Rectification
  

• Explore GIS data in ARCGIS 9.x-ArcView (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolBox).
• Acquire, display, manipulate and employ basic queries of spatial layers and attribute data.
  
• Understand data models, data formats and layers in GIS.
  
• View and manipulate satellite data and orthophotos.
  
• Understand and employ spatial referencing to defing projection systems and re-project data (e.g. Albers, UTM, Geographic).
  
• Employ basic editing of shapefile features and attribute tables.
  
• Intro to Garmin GPS (download and editing in ArcView). 

 

• Acquire and use basic VB scripts and software customization to enhance your workflow.
• Explore map creation in ArcGIS 9.x - ArcView (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox). Create map elements, metre grids and graticules.
• Develop graphic, dynamic  labels and annotation and implement VB scropts for advanced lavelling.
  
• Employ basic querying and table joins to enhance data interpolation.
• Spatially reference and symbolize CAD data in an ARCGIS.
  

• Explore GIS personal geodatabases and aspatial databases in ARCGIS 9.x-ArcView (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox) and MS Access.
• Data fields and their attributes, records, table joins, relates and query languages will be used to track and extract information, enhance your editing and generate new data layers.
• Convert data formats (shapefile, CAD, coverage data), annotation and tables.
• Understand and employ effective data integrity (spatial doman and precision).
  

• Explore landscape values with GIS vector analysis in ArcGIS 9.x ArcView (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox).
  
• Problem solving based on real-world scenarios (examples include riparian, patch and habitat analysis) will demonstrate attribute table manipulation, buffers, dissolves, appending/merging, clipping, intersecting and unioning of GIS data sets.
• Implementation of more advanced queries will be explored. Develop Geoprocessing tools into models via Modelbuilder to streamline workflow. 

• Explore landscape values with GIS raster analysis in ArcGIS 9.x-ArcView (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox, Spatial Analyst extensions).
  
• Problem solving based on real-world examples (e.g. can you extract useful information for Predictive Ecosystem Mapping?).
  
• Interpolate DEMs, and identify random and systematic errors within surfaces.
• Implement cell-based analysis of raster categorical and elevation data.
• Integrate vector and raster analysis.
