Here's a roundup of new lessons in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month. Model bluespots to map flood risk (ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Extension) In this lesson, you will use bluespot modeling tools to explore a drainage basin north of Copenhagen, Denmark, that has been hit by several rainstorms in the past decades. You will investigate model results and observe the severe impact of flood inundation in residential areas located within landscape sinks that are filled during rainstorms, resulting in the flooding of homes and critical infrastructure. In the last optional module, you will explore how the bluespot modeling tools may be used to prepare and model similar occurrences in your own study area.       Assess tornado damage to Main Street Nashville (ArcGIS Online) In the middle of the night on March 3, 2020, a tornado tore across the greater Nashville area of Tennessee. Early reports identified businesses in the Main Street area of downtown Nashville that had been damaged or destroyed overnight. In just a few blocks, more than 30 buildings were affected. The emergency response crew will use this information to accelerate their in-person damage assessments. Your task is to help the crew by mapping the reported buildings and creating a grid to divide and prioritize resources. You will build skills in creating and symbolizing points for reportedly damaged buildings and creating and editing a tessellation grid for planning an assessment.   Explore dynamic imagery of a volcano eruption (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Pro) In 2018, the eruption of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island was a major event and caused significant destruction. In this lesson, as an imagery analyst at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, you'll prepare and explore multispectral Landsat satellite imagery captured before, during, and after the eruption. You'll learn to search and discover dynamic imagery layers in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. You'll then apply temporal and spectral capabilities of dynamic imagery to select specific images from a layer and apply different band combinations to it. You'll then open the imagery you've prepared in ArcGIS Pro and start exploring it further.     How far can you see? (ArcGIS Online) In this lesson, you want to build your dream home within sight of Lake Junaluska, a bucolic area in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. You’ll use a viewshed tool to determine which of the three proposed locations offers the best views of the lake. You will build skills in filtering layers with logical queries, using the Create viewshed tool and analyzing imagery.           Find the meeting locations of a network of associates (ArcGIS Pro Intelligence) In this lesson, you're a law enforcement officer who has identified a person of interest in a recent crime. Because the crime was too substantial to be carried out by a single person, you want to identify the individual's network of associates. To do so, you'll analyze the meeting locations of the person of interest based on the location of their cell phone. Then, you'll pinpoint individuals with whom the person of interest is interacting. You'll perform the analysis in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence, a customized version of ArcGIS Pro tailored for intelligence workflows.         Identify suspects with movement analysis (ArcGIS Pro Intelligence) In this lesson, you're a law enforcement officer who has been tracking the activity of a criminal syndicate. Through your investigations, you've identified three locations where the syndicate is known to operate. Now, you want to know who is visiting those locations. To find out, you'll analyze cell phone records to find individuals who frequently appear at or near the locations of interest. You'll perform the analysis in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence, a customized version of ArcGIS Pro tailored for intelligence workflows.           Predict ocean currents to plan remote well inspections (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension) In this lesson, you are a mission planner operating a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in the Gulf of Mexico. Using the seven-day forecast obtained from the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) multidimensional raster, you will determine where and when the ocean currents are predicted to be calm enough to operate the ROV. In planning the mission to inspect and cap a set of wells, you will sample the HYCOM raster in the time and depth dimensions, create a chart to show dive opportunities, and visualize and animate the ocean current dynamics in 3D.         Get started with advanced formatting in ArcGIS Dashboards (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Dashboards) As high winds and dry conditions are an ongoing problem in the state of California, state utility officials constantly monitor power outages.  Using ArcGIS Dashboards, you will create a visually informative dashboard to view outages. Using advanced formatting in Arcade, you will be able to calculate the amount of time an outage has been active and add that information to the list of reported outages. Additionally, you will configure an alert that displays when a new outage has been reported.     New Learn Paths A Learn Path is sequenced set of resources for learning about a particular topic. Here's a roundup of some new paths in the Learn ArcGIS Gallery that have appeared in the last month.    Add 3D to a Vintage Map (ArcGIS Pro) How to add modern hillshading to beautiful old topographic or geologic maps.               Collect geological data with ArcGIS Field Maps (ArcGIS Field Maps) Learn how to collect mineralogical data in the field using Field Maps.                 Building a winning story with ArcGIS StoryMaps (ArcGIS StoryMaps) Building a winning story with ArcGIS StoryMaps                 Try Esri Redistricting (Esri Redistricting) Explore an overview of Esri Redistricting and resources to get started. ...

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. Design infographics in ArcGIS Business Analyst (ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App) A railway company operates both rail lines and intermodal facilities—locations where cargo is switched from one mode of transport to another—in Iowa. The railway's GIS manager wants to find businesses throughout the state that are likely to need and use intermodal facilities for freight shipping. In this lesson, you will customize an infographic template in three phases. First, you will explore the infographic builder to get comfortable with the design and editing tools. Next, you will add a map to your infographic and link it to data in the other infographic panels. Finally, you will customize the style and branding of your infographic.     Establish context with locator maps in ArcGIS StoryMaps (ArcGIS Online) The Dene Kʼéh Kusān story by the Dena Kayeh Institute is the second-place winner in the 2020 ArcGIS StoryMaps Competition for the Sustainable Development Goals. It is particularly striking for its use of locator maps and map choreography, which help create a broader understanding of place throughout the narrative. In this lesson, you'll re-create a portion of the story to learn how to use these techniques effectively.           Investigate a crime by finding cotravelers (ArcGIS Pro Intelligence) A cotraveler is someone who travels in tandem with another individual or object across both space and time. If criminals met with a group to plan their activities, or fled the scene of the crime with a getaway driver, determining cotravelers can help pinpoint suspects. In this lesson, you'll perform cotraveler analysis on fictional cell phone records to identify potential accomplices suspected of participating in a robbery. You'll perform the analysis in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence, a customized version of ArcGIS Pro tailored for intelligence workflows. After the analysis, you'll review the results and reach conclusions regarding the cotravelers you identified.     Site a sustainable shrimp farm (ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Extension) In recent years, Costa Rica has been developing organic and sustainable shrimp farming. In particular, it is trying to move the production away from mangrove forests, as intensive shrimp farming is destructive to that environment. It also encourages a practice that does away with the heavy use of chemicals and antibiotics. As the new approach to shrimp farming is increasingly successful, local farmers are looking for potential locations for new organic and sustainable shrimp farms. In this lesson you'll use the ArcGIS Pro Suitability Modeler to locate new potential farming sites in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica based on several criteria. You'll generate a suitability map indicating the most favorable areas based on the criteria. Then, from the suitability map, you'll identify the five best potential shrimp locations. Map your community cleanup (ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS Insights) You're organizing a community cleanup event. You and your fellow community members will pick up various litter throughout your community and identify what resources are needed to maintain clean spaces. In this lesson, you'll prepare a map and form for data collection. As you collect litter during the event, you'll record data using ArcGIS Field Maps. When the event is over, you'll visualize the litter data using ArcGIS Insights.         Plan education outreach with Mexican census data (ArcGIS Online) You are a GIS Intern working for an educational non-profit. The organization uses Census data to determine what areas would benefit most from outreach, including building schools, providing books and other school supplies, and sponsoring youth education programs You are tasked with becoming familiar with public census education data and creating an informative map to share with the team. You can do this with ArcGIS Online. You will add public, ready-to-use, Mexican Census layers to Map Viewer and configure the layers with custom symbology, pop-ups, and charts.       Tell an interactive story using map actions (ArcGIS Online, Microsoft Word) There is no doubt that maps are a central part of the ArcGIS StoryMaps experience! But knowing how to choreograph the presentation of those maps and adjust what they will show will help take your stories to the next level. Map actions allow your readers to control what the map shows and elevates them from passive to interactive readers. Map actions engage your readers and reward their curiosity, such as by allowing them to turn layers on and off to reveal additional map details. Map actions can also be configured to allow readers to change the map extent, such as clicking on a button and zooming in to a city or panning to a different country. In this lesson, you'll set up a story's map actions.   Create a COVID-19 dashboard (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Dashboards) Doctors first identified the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in early 2020. The virus quickly spread, bringing the disease to every continent. The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University soon began collecting and updating information on the location of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries. In this lesson, you'll build three maps of COVID-19 cases using real-time data feeds provided by CSSE. Then you will combine the maps and other information to create a dashboard illustrating the current pattern of worldwide cases.   Illuminate terrain with a custom hillshade (ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro) Hillshading—also known as shaded relief—is a technique that visually communicates terrain. It depicts the 3D surface of a landscape on a flat map by simulating how light and shadow might fall on that surface. Hillshading has a long history in cartography, and there are many methods and techniques for achieving this visual effect. In this lesson, you'll use ArcGIS Pro raster functions to build a custom hillshade of part of the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia. The hillshade you create will be informed by observations about how light works in the real world. You'll learn a repeatable technique to create dynamic and attractive hillshades in any area, how to share the results with others, and how to blend hillshades into other layers of your map.   Train a model to identify street signs (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Survey123, ArcGIS Notebooks, ArcGIS API for Python) While machine learning tasks in the office may replace some human activities, in the field they often complement or enhance field work activities instead of replace them. In this lesson, you'll build and verify a model that can be used to automatically identify street signs based on images manually captured in ArcGIS Survey123. First, you'll acquire a representative collection of training images captured using Survey123. Next, you'll use the images to train a model with ArcGIS Notebooks. Once the necessary model files are created, you'll use them in conjunction with the Survey123 SmartCamera to test the model's predictions and classify survey photos.   Shade equity - Determine tree planting locations with suitability analysis (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension, ArcGIS Business Analyst Desktop) To promote equitable access to green infrastructure , and to mitigate climate change, the City of Los Angeles plans to plant 90,000 trees by the end of 2021 . There are many benefits to increasing tree canopy coverage across a city. Trees provide shade, lower surface and air temperatures by as much as 10 degrees , provide protection from direct sunlight, and help reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses . The City of Los Angeles wants to ensure that the trees are planted in the areas that need it most, with a focus on social and environmental equity. In this lesson, as a GIS analyst for the city, you'll use spatial analysis to build a model that prioritizes the distribution of 90,000 trees across the census tracts of the city.   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.  Try ArcGIS for Power BI (ArcGIS for Power BI) Create interactive maps that highlight patterns in your data.               Working with spatiotemporal data in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence (ArcGIS Pro Intelligence) Using, analyzing, and visualizing activity in both space and time.             Try the Insights scripting environment (ArcGIS Insights) Use the Insights scripting environment for data engineering and to extend your analysis with Python and R.             Use ArcGIS Insights for public safety (ArcGIS Insights) Learn how to use Insights for public safety and emergency response. ...

Build an app to expand food access (ArcGIS Online) You are part of a community advocacy group that wants to create an app to show how farmers markets are located in the District of Columbia in relation to other grocery and food retail stores, as well as the poverty status and racial and ethnic composition of the community. You have a meeting with a District farmers' market co-op. You want to present an app that can be used to provide decision support to farmers market managers looking to increase the number of markets for which public assistance benefits such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) are accepted.   Measure and visualize digital exclusion (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online) Are there race groups that are more digitally excluded than others in the United States? After performing the data analysis in ArcGIS Pro, you will build a web app to share your findings. This lesson provides a conceptual framework for applying geospatial technology to study socioeconomic indicators through the lens of racial equity.              Create and use a mosaic dataset (ArcGIS Pro) In this lesson, you'll focus on the management and storage of large volumes of imagery and remote sensing data in ArcGIS Pro. You will explore the challenges of working with multiple images individually and create a mosaic dataset that will allow you to work with the collection of seamless images, making them accessible and turning them into useful information products for both visualization and analysis. Next, you will enhance the mosaic dataset by applying and incorporating analysis functionality and, finally, add and use a catalog of imagery from an ArcGIS Living Atlas mosaic dataset.     Design a layout for a thematic map (ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Experience Builder) Maps usually include titles, legends, and other information to help explain them. Just like in a print map, a clear layout design for an online map helps people understand what the map aims to communicate. You've designed a map of languages in India to celebrate International Mother Language Day and will design a layout to help it tell its story.           Measure global hunger (ArcGIS Online) The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger aims to end hunger and ensure access by all people, especially people in vulnerable situations, to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food all year round by 2030. In this lesson, you'll use United Nations Sustainable Development Goals data to compare hunger in the forms of undernourishment and food insecurity for the world's population.         Crowdsource student hangouts (ArcGIS Online) As part of a class group representing the youth in your area, you're interested in learning what facilities are available to you around your school. Are there parks, play areas, sport facilities, and indoor entertainment venues? Can these facilities be used during the day and after dark? Do people feel safe in these areas? Are they actually used? Do the facilities in the area suit the people who live there? Can these facilities be accessed by walking from school? You'll create a survey, collect data and analyze the results.         Extract 3D buildings from lidar data (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension) Tuborg Havn is a newly redeveloped mixed-use neighborhood in Copenhagen, Denmark. The City of Copenhagen wants a 3D model of the buildings in the neighborhood to use in further urban planning activities, flood prediction analysis, shadow impact analyses, viewshed and line of sight analyses, and more. As a remote sensing analyst for the city, you'll use lidar point cloud data in ArcGIS Pro to extract the 3D representation. You'll create and classify a LAS dataset, extract a digital elevation model (DEM) and 2D building footprints, and generate 3D multipatch buildings.       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.  Try ArcGIS for Power BI (ArcGIS for Power BI) Create interactive maps that highlight patterns in your data.               Working with spatiotemporal data in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence (ArcGIS Pro Intelligence) Using, analyzing, and visualizing activity in both space and time.             Try the Insights scripting environment (ArcGIS Insights) Use the Insights scripting environment for data engineering and to extend your analysis with Python and R.             Use ArcGIS Insights for public safety (ArcGIS Insights) Learn how to use Insights for public safety and emergency response. ...

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. ...
