About

Through all four weeks of this Geospatial and Environmental Analysis course offered by Coursera in partnership with UC Davis, we'll work through a project together - something unique to this course - from project conception, through data retrieval, initial data management and processing, and finally to our analysis products.

Overview

Apply your GIS knowledge in this course on geospatial analysis, focusing on analysis tools,  3D data, working with rasters, projections, and environment variables. 

In this class you will learn the fundamentals of geospatial and environmental analysis during four week-long modules:

  • Week 1: Tour ArcToolbox and learn how to use common geospatial analysis tools built into ArcGIS
  • Week 2: Gain a working understanding of raster data models: symbolize, reproject, overlay, and assess rasters. Take a detour into 3D data models, and interpolation of observations into 3D surfaces and rasters
  • Week 3: Go in-depth on projections and coordinate systems, which are foundational to all GIS. Learn how to use environment variables to constrain your analyses and get better quality data products.
  • Week 4: Expand your knowledge of symbology. Learn how to visually display your data by classifying it in logical groupings and then symbolizing it on your map.

Take the Geospatial and Environmental Analysis course offered by Coursera in partnership with UC Davis or as part of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Specialization. You should have equivalent experience to completing the first and second courses in this specialization, "Fundamentals of GIS" and "GIS Data Formats, Design, and Quality", before taking this course. By completing this third class in the Specialization you will gain the skills needed to succeed in the full program.

What You Will Learn

  • Create 3-dimensional surfaces
  • Create triangulated irregular networks (TIN) and modify rasters to 3D data 
  • Develop and analyze data for the geospatial analysis project
  • Design color ramps for your data
