What's New in Learn ArcGIS March 2021

New Learn Lessons

A Learn Lesson is a step-by-step tutorial that uses a real-world scenario to introduce key ArcGIS tools and workflows. Here's a roundup of new lessons in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month.

Automate updates to web feature layers without scripting (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Dashboards)

This lesson illustrates using an ArcGIS ModelBuilder model to automatically schedule updates to a web feature layer using the ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing scheduling functionality. All steps in this lesson can be executed using basic ArcGIS out-of-the-box functionality in which no scripting or additional extensions are required.

 

 

Get started with multidimensional multispectral imagery (ArcGIS Pro)

In this lesson, you'll learn how to generate a multidimensional mosaic dataset that contains Landsat multispectral imagery, showing the copper mine at different points in time. You'll convert the dataset to Esri's native Cloud Raster Format (CRF) and run a quick analysis for visualizing how this copper mine has changed over time.

 

Edit features to create enumeration areas (ArcGIS Pro)

In this lesson, you'll use ArcGIS Pro to create and modify enumeration areas and other census-related geographic data in Zambia. In the process, you'll learn the basics of feature editing in ArcGIS.

 

 

 

 

Evaluate COVID-19 financial vulnerability (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Business Analyst)

This lesson outlines a proposed data-driven approach for mapping the level of financial vulnerability across a region. Financial vulnerability occurs when income and liquid financial assets are insufficient to cover debt payments and basic living costs. Just as you can't measure physical health by only looking at blood pressure, you can't measure financial health by only looking at a single variable. For this lesson, you'll model financial vulnerability as a function of income, expenditures, and external factors that can negatively impact income.

 

Explore and animate geological data with voxels (ArcGIS Pro)

This lesson introduces the voxel layer's visual analytics capabilities, specifically for discrete data. By using the Netherlands' geological categories visualized with voxel layer functionality, you will create section diagrams, areas of interest, and export your visual analysis results as animations for effective storytelling.

You'll visualize the geological characteristics of this landscape with the voxel layer. The voxel layer is based on geological data from The Geological Survey of the Netherlands. The data that you will use is a detailed three-dimensional model of the shallow subsurface up to a depth of 50 meters below NAP (Amsterdam Ordnance Datum).

 

Fill gaps in your data with areal interpolation (ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Statistical Analyst)

In this lesson, you'll use the second method—geostatistics—to map the spatial variation of data across the entire study area. Predicted values are then pulled from the resulting map to fill the gaps in your data. Geostatistics allows you to predict values in locations that have not been measured, using data from measurements elsewhere in your study area. Typically geostatistics uses point data, but it can also interpolate from data stored in polygons, as you'll use in this lesson.

New Learn Paths

A Learn Path is sequenced set of resources for learning about a particular topic. Here's a roundup of new paths in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month. 

Perform analysis in ArcGIS Insights (ArcGIS Insights)

Use Insights to perform analysis using spatial and nonspatial techniques.
