Hey Esri Environment Community!
We recently posted a new tutorial going over very basic home range analysis in ArcGIS Pro. We would LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK!
WHY? Eons ago there were a wide variety of extensions that academics, third parties and others had developed to conduct home range estimations (HREs) in good ole ArcMap. Many users were dependent on these purpose-built extensions and were hungry to learn how to replicate these workflows in ArcGIS Pro.
We had discussions with numerous customers, some of whom even contributed test data (thank you!) and we landed with the following tutorial. It uses Elk data available from Movebank, but you can easily swap it out for your own.
Additionally, we wrote the tutorial in a manner that, at the end, you're building it out in Model Builder which allows you to:
- streamline this work next time in a plug-in-play fashion
- share the workflow across an organization for replication/scientific defensibility
- begin the first steps to creating your own extension!
- easily teach this to a class and have a working model for students to troubleshoot against
Ok, here it is!
