Spatial Analysis and Satellite Imagery in a GIS

In this course, you will learn how to analyze map data using different data types and methods to answer geographic questions. First, you will learn how to filter a data set using different types of queries to find just the data you need to answer a particular question. Then, we will discuss simple yet powerful analysis methods that use vector data to find spatial relationships within and between data sets. In this section, you will also learn about how to use ModelBuilder, a simple but powerful tool for building analysis flowcharts that can then also be run as models. You will then learn how to find, understand, and use remotely sensed data such as satellite imagery, as a rich source of GIS data. You will then learn how to analyze raster data. Finally, you will complete your own project where you get to try out the new skills and tools you have learned about in this course.Note: software is not provided for this course.

Reviews

A well organized GIS course with plenty of exercises to follow and ideal teaching techniques.

Excellent course, really helped me bridge my knowledge gap between GIS and satellite imagery. I feel much more effective in the use of spatial analytical tools moving forward with my career.

After completion of this course, i have learnt spatial analysis and uses of satellite imagery that is really very much helpful in my work environment.

Useful as well as demanding course so guys please join and make your career more responsive in this modern technical world.
