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. Assess hail damage in cornfields with satellite imagery (ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online) The region of Taber and Barnwell, in Alberta, Canada, has a large production of corn and other crops. In early August 2019, the upcoming harvest was severely impacted when a major hailstorm ripped through the region. Hailstones driven by winds that reached more than 140 kilometers per hour (or 87 miles per hour) tore through the area. In this lesson, as an imagery analyst for a local farmer organization, you will perform a first damage assessment based on satellite multispectral imagery captured before and after the hailstorm. Using ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online, you will create online tiled imagery layers, add them to a web map, and explore them visually. Then, you'll perform change analysis, applying a vegetation index to both images, computing the difference between the two, and extracting the average loss of healthy vegetation per field. Finally, you'll learn how to build a raster function template to automate this analysis. Automate fire damage assessment with deep learning (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Image Analyst) The Woolsey Fire of 2018 was a wildfire that burned nearly 97,000 acres of land in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties in Southern California. Surveying the scale of damage was essential to helping those impacted by the disaster recover. In the past, this process required hours of analysts poring over aerial images to manually classify each building as damaged or undamaged. With the introduction of deep learning, this process can be automated, and you'll learn how to train a model that can detect whether buildings were impacted by wildfires or not. First, you'll work with aerial imagery and a training dataset of buildings to classify structures as damaged or undamaged. This data will train a deep learning model. Then, you'll apply your model to buildings that have not been classified to rapidly mark them as damaged or undamaged and observe your model's accuracy. Classify mangroves using deep learning (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Image Analyst, Deep Learning Libraries for ArcGIS Pro) Mangroves are critical to the maintenance and conservation of healthy coastal ecosystems. They're extremely rich in biodiversity, are home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, and protect inland coastal areas from erosion and storm surge impacts. Due to various climatic phenomena and human development, mangrove forests are rapidly shrinking. This warrants active monitoring and conservation efforts for existing mangroves. In this lesson, you'll prepare and train a deep learning model to identify these forests using Landsat 8 imagery from 2016. Then, you'll deploy the model on imagery from 2021 for the same study area to see how the extent of mangrove forest has changed over time. These results help conservation mangers to better understand how forests are impacted by natural and built environments. Survey customers to gain marketing insight (ArcGIS Survey123/Web designer) Businesses use customer surveys to assess policies, develop marketing strategies, and better understand their audience. Traditionally, surveys were done on paper or over the phone; compiling results could be difficult and time-consuming. Businesses are now turning to digital surveys, which are hosted online, accessible via mobile device, and more efficiently shared and analyzed. In this lesson, Super Tech Now, a technology store franchise, has hired you to develop a customer sentiment survey using ArcGIS Survey123. With Survey123, you can create digital surveys that collect data in real time across an organization. You'll create a survey, test it, and assess the results online. Design a map with ArcGIS Pro and Adobe Illustrator (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud, ArcGIS Online, Adobe Illustrator CC) In this lesson, you're the GIS technician at a multinational real estate company, and you've been asked to help the graphic design team by creating a map showing the locations of all of your company's offices. The map will be featured as a prominent graphic on your website. The colors and fonts need to match your company's branding. You'll begin the map in ArcGIS Pro, where you have access to data management and analysis tools. But you'll finish the map in Adobe Illustrator, where you can access some graphic design tools, as well as convert the map into a format that your design team is familiar with. Expand a small business (ArcGIS Pro/Business Analyst Web App) As a small business owner of laundry and dry-cleaning facilities, you are interested in expanding into new markets. Expansion can be risky, so you'll first analyze your most successful stores to establish what factors contribute to a successful laundry and dry-cleaning store. Then, you'll use those factors in a suitability analysis to determine a new market area for expansion. Model coastal inundation impact (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension) A storm can generate a rise of sea levels called storm surge. In this lesson, as a climate resilience analyst in Denmark, you want to assess the vulnerability of Hvidovre, a coastal municipality close to Copenhagen, to inundations caused by storm surges. You will perform this analysis in ArcGIS Pro, using models developed in ModelBuilder. First, you will determine the potential impact of storm surges of 16 different sea levels varying between 1 and 4 meters. Next, you will identify weak points that might allow the water to flow through, and might benefit from the construction of one or more new protective dikes. Finally, you will verify that the addition of such new dikes would avoid potential catastrophic inundations in the future. This type of analysis, called inundation screening, is all the more crucial in the context of climate change, sea-level rise, and increased frequency of storm surge occurrences. In the last part of this lesson, you will learn how to replicate this analysis in your own area of interest. 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. Getting started with 3D Basemaps (3D Basemap solution) Learn how governments, utilities, and other organizations can use the 3D Basemaps solution and their lidar, building footprint, and utility data to create and maintain a 3D basemap.

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. Analyze and visualize property valuations (ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Insights desktop) As a property assessor for Bloomfield Township in Michigan, you need to analyze and ground-truth home values to ensure that property taxes are distributed fairly. You'll use ArcGIS Insights instead, so you can visualize and analyze your data interactively. In this lesson you'll build a workbook that visualizes your data with a map, charts, indicator values, filters, and a table. You'll use the workbook to investigate sales ratios and outliers in the data to help determine if properties in Bloomfield are assessed correctly. You'll share your results with the other assessors in your office both as an interactive visualization tool, and as a model that they can reuse with other datasets. Apply Exploratory 3D Analysis tools (ArcGIS Pro) This lesson contains a mix of small-, medium-, and large-scale urban environments. The interactive analysis tools use graphic effects rendered in the scene to highlight spatial properties, such as visibility and proximity. These effects are temporary and based on which layers are currently visible. You can export images and animation videos that show the interactive analysis objects in place. With animations, you can even have the analysis object—such as the slice, line of sight, or viewshed—move and resize itself over the course of the video. In this lesson, you will use the Exploratory 3D Analysis tools View Dome, Slice, and Viewshed in ArcGIS Pro. Build a 3D cityscape by themes (ArcGIS Pro) In this exercise, you will be working with simple GIS data for a city–building multipatches, parcel footprints, water main lines, city-managed tree points, and regularly spaced wind sample points to create a thematic representation of different aspects of the city. In this lesson, you will use color to represent 3D objects as a theme, match thematic representation across multiple layers, and use thematic extrusion, size, shape, and orientation on 3D layers. Create realistic 3D urban scenes (ArcGIS Pro) As an urban planner, you have been tasked with creating multipatch features and performing texture editing for an urban area. As part of the workflow, you will extrude, edit, and symbolize the building footprints. After converting building footprints to multipatch features, you will apply textures to the buildings to make them as realistic as possible. In this lesson, you will extrude, edit, and symbolize building footprints; add and configure preset trees; set a constant elevation; configure a 3D grid to create a new 3D feature; create a multipatch feature; and perform textured editing. Model a 3D city block (ArcGIS Pro) In this lesson, you will be working with GIS data for the city of Naperville, Illinois. This includes building footprints, city-managed street trees, furniture, and points of interest that will be used to create a 3D view. You will also consider how your intended audience will use the scene. You will extrude building footprints as simple 3D symbology, use procedural symbols for advanced 3D symbology, add a preset trees layer by height, add 3D street furniture with consideration to furniture rotation, and create bookmarks to help your audience navigate the scene. Model how land subsidence affects flooding (ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension) Flooding causes catastrophic damage around the world each year. When combined with land subsidence, flood inundation becomes more severe. The Netherlands is no stranger to these phenomena, partly due to its low-lying location. In this lesson, you'll take on the role of an Amsterdam municipal employee investigating how land subsidence can change the spatial and financial impacts of a flood. First, you'll use spatial analyst tools to preprocess the provided raster dataset. Then, you'll determine flood extents and estimated damage. Finally, you'll compare damage that would take place today and in 2050 based on projected land subsidence estimates. Classify power lines using deep learning (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS 3D Analyst/Deep Learning Libraries/Excel) In this lesson, as a GIS analyst for an insurance company, you will use a deep learning model to conduct a risk assessment analysis of power lines using lidar (light detection and ranging) data. You will analyze an area in Northern California that has potential fire risk due to trees in close proximity to power lines. You will use ArcGIS Pro to create and train a deep learning model to identify the power lines from a lidar point cloud. Deep learning allows you to train a model using a sample dataset and apply the model to other similar areas. You will assess which model resulted in the most accurate results and use it to classify the lidar points that are power lines. Improve campsite data quality using a relationship class (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Pro) Park visitors using a site have reported inconsistencies between posted campsite information for two of the most popular national parks in the country, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Park. In this lesson a regional GIS Specialist is tasked with helping improve campsite data quality in Wyoming. The specialist will initially address the loss of data at the park level by creating joins and relates to incorporate associated records, and will then inspect and create a relationship class between campsites and campgrounds. Finally, the specialist will publish the curated data as a web map that can be shared on a website and in a app by park authorities. Design custom symbols to map wildfires (ArcGIS Online) How do you design effective symbols for web maps? In this lesson, you'll re-create the custom symbology of the USA Current Wildfires layer from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. You'll learn about the design criteria that contributed to the symbol, and how to build the Arcade expressions that allow the symbol to work on changing backgrounds, with changing data, and at changing scales. By re-creating the symbology of the wildfire layer, you'll learn skills that you can apply to your own data to build effective and cartographic web maps. Track vehicle behavior to apprehend a suspect (ArcGIS Pro Intelligence) Classifying movement events is an analytical technique that identifies how people and things move through an environment. Determining where individuals make turns or change speed provides insights into movement patterns that can be used for actionable responses. In this lesson, you're a law enforcement officer planning a raid on a suspected criminal while they move from one area to another in a vehicle. To ensure the raid is successful, you'll analyze vehicle movement behavior to determine when the suspect's vehicle is most likely to slow down or stop. You'll perform the analysis in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence, a customized version of ArcGIS Pro tailored for intelligence workflows. 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.

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. Build a 3D scene for the Oso mudslide in Washington (ArcGIS Pro) In March 2014, after a month of heavy rainfall, a massive landslide wiped out a rural community near Oso, Washington. The tragic event destroyed homes and highways, dramatically altered the landscape, and caused the deaths of 43 people. It was one of the deadliest slides ever in the United States. In this lesson, you'll build a 3D scene using before and after elevation surface layers to investigate the mudslide and its effects on the community. Improve 3D thematic symbology (ArcGIS Pro) Many 3D scenes attempt to re-create the real world, with textured buildings, ground imagery, realistic trees, cars, and so on. There are also many opportunities for using cartographic symbolization instead. In this lesson, you'll use a 3D scene for Portland, Oregon, to visualize and display features cartographically by modifying size, shape, and color to better describe and explain geographic content to others, much like with 2D cartography. You'll learn how to use vertical offsets, configure 3D symbology to be visible across multiple visibility extents, and add shading and exaggeration to highlight surfaces. Interpolate temperatures using the Geostatistical Wizard (ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extension) In this lesson, you'll learn to do the following: Create a continuous temperature map of Africa and the Middle East from a dataset of sample points. Analyze the distribution of the sample data with histograms. Create interpolated surfaces using the inverse distance weighting and kriging methods. Compare the accuracy of different surfaces using cross-validation. Map the standard error of prediction for a chosen surface. Monitor forest change over time (ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Image Analyst) In this lesson, as a GIS analyst for the Oregon Department of Forestry, you'll use tools based on the LandTrendr algorithm (Landsat-based detection of Trends in Disturbance and Recovery) to better understand the spatial and temporal patterns of timber harvest and detect other potential disturbances. Access attributes from another layer with ArcGIS Arcade (ArcGIS Online) As an electricity researcher, you are mapping power plants around the world with ArcGIS Online, and you are interested in understanding the number of citizens each power plant can supply electricity for. You'll need to access the power plant's annual electricity generation. You'll also need to access data about the country where the power plant is located, such as the total population and annual electricity consumption in the country. In your web map, this data resides in two separate feature layers. You'll build an Arcade FeatureSet to make the attributes from one layer available to the other layer.

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. Animate a historical ship race (ArcGIS Pro) In this lesson, you will create a video depicting a simulated virtual sailing ship race from 1770 by plotting the logged positions of the ships as they crossed the Atlantic from La Coruña, in Spain, to San Juan, in Puerto Rico. Animate the Oso mudslide (ArcGIS Pro) On March 22, 2014, after a month of heavy rainfall, a mountain gave way near Oso, Washington; the resulting and historic mudslide tragically killed 43 people. In this lesson, your task is to call attention to the deadly event by creating a 3D fly-through animation showing the area before and after the mudslide. Enable an inbox for a census survey (ArcGIS Survey123 Connect/ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Online) In this lesson, you'll enable the inbox feature for a census survey form. First, you'll publish a survey using ArcGIS Survey123 Connect. Then, you'll combine the survey with a feature layer of building points in ArcGIS Pro. Last, you'll enable the inbox and test its functionality by assigning specific buildings to enumerators. Collect 3D features from a stereo map (ArcGIS Pro) Using a collection of stereo imagery loaded into a mosaic dataset, you will use stereo viewing and mapping in ArcGIS Pro to collect new 3D rooftop point features. This will help establish a pattern that city officials can use to visually analyze imagery and compile three-dimensional (3D) features that can be used to update existing data and determine whether bylaws are being broken. Analyze impacts of congressional redistricting with ArcGIS Insights (ArcGIS Insights/ArcGIS Online) You will use ArcGIS Insights to map and compare the various redistricting plans and use different charts to analyze the demographic information in the proposed plans. Once you have created your maps and charts of the plans, you will share your work so that stakeholders and decision makers can access it online. Design a 3D local scene (ArcGIS Pro) Maps and scenes can both use illumination to achieve different effects. Maps use illumination mainly to make maps look more three dimensional by applying shaded relief or hillshades. A scene, however, needs a light source to illuminate it, and you can configure this light source to achieve different effects within the scene. Having a good understanding of these settings will allow you to add an extra level of quality to your 3D scenes. In this lesson, you'll use illumination settings, including sun position, shadows, and atmospheric effects; enable the north arrow and on-screen Navigator control; view content in a local and global scene; and work with parallel view mode to display features differently and more effectively. Convert a list of historic places into a map (ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro) In this lesson, you'll reformat a list of locations as a table. Then you'll geocode the table in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. Geocoding is a process that converts location names to map coordinates. You'll review the matches produced by the geocoding process and fix any that are out of place. Finally, you'll apply a few edits to your new map before sharing it with your students. Convert a static map into a web app and print map (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Dashboard) In these paired lessons you'll learn (1) how to share a web map from ArcGIS Pro, control which basemaps appear as you zoom in and out, and build a dashboard application that students can use to explore the map on a desktop or mobile device and (2) how to open a web map that you created in ArcGIS Online in the ArcGIS Pro desktop app. You'll change the map's projection, create a layout, adjust the labels, and export the map as a PDF. Improve interpolations to map temperature (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extension) With a set of sample temperature measurements, you can interpolate temperature values over an entire area to predict temperatures in locations where there are no samples. You can use geostatistics to make this interpolation, but the results will not be accurate if you do not have enough sample locations. You will create a temperature map for California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. In doing so, you will interpolate datasets that contain a different amount of points to see how accuracy improves when there are more samples. Because temperature is affected by elevation, you will include an elevation variable in your prediction to see if the temperature predictions improve when considering elevation. You can use either an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise account to sign in to ArcGIS Pro, depending on your set up. Map ozone with a 3D interpolated fence (ArcGIS Online/ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extension) You will map ozone concentrations in a 3D vertical fence along the Interstate 10 highway, from Santa Monica on the coast to Palm Springs in the desert. You will use a Python script tool, built using geostatistical methods that can interpolate phenomena over a continuous surface from discrete input data. Normally, geostatistics is used to map concentrations horizontally. You will create a vertical interpolation to understand how ozone changes with height. You will also symbolize the fences layer and configure the pop-up to only display certain attributes. You can use either an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise account to sign in to ArcGIS Pro, depending on your set up. Use 2D data in a 3D scene (ArcGIS Pro) The City of Portland has undertaken a project to update and modernize its citywide database by including more 3D data and capabilities. This project includes displaying orthophotos and draping layers over the surface to provide a map user with the ability to verify spatial alignment and 3D representations of real-world objects. In this lesson, you'll shade a surface to emphasize variations in relief and drape content on the surface. You'll also add 3D symbology to layers. Visualize D-Day in 3D (ArcGIS Earth) In this lesson, you will re-create the scene for the initial landing at D-Day using KMZ, KML, and OBJ files in ArcGIS Earth. By using the Interactive Analysis tools in ArcGIS Earth, you will be able to understand the viewshed range of different vehicles and weaponry. After completing this lesson, you will be able to employ similar techniques to re-create other battles for instructional purposes, or to gain a general overview of a battle plan using ArcGIS Earth. 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. Create and edit redistricting plans (ArcGIS Redistricting) Learn how to use the tools in Esri Redistricting to create and edit plans. Analyze and review redistricting plans (ArcGIS Redistricting) Analyze plans with thematic maps, run reports to evaluate demographic distribution, and verify the integrity of redistricting plans. Collaborate with other users and groups using Esri Redistricting (ArcGIS Redistricting) Take advantage of collaboration tools in Esri Redistricting to share and publish plans and engage with stakeholders.

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. 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.

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 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. 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 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. Assess hail damage in cornfields with satellite imagery (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension) The region of Taber and Barnwell, in Alberta, Canada has a large production of corn and other crops. In early August 2019, the upcoming harvest was severely impacted when a major hailstorm ripped through the region. Hailstones driven by winds that reached more than 140 kilometers per hour (or 87 miles per hour) tore through the area. As an imagery analyst for a local farmer organization, you'll perform a first damage assessment. You'll explore multispectral imagery captured before and after the hailstorm. You'll then apply a vegetation index on both images, compute the difference, and extract the average loss of healthy vegetation in each field Develop your own ArcGIS Hub template (ArcGIS Hub Premium) The City of Springfield's general plan is being updated to help create a sustainable future for the city by 2040. As a planner for Springfield, your task is to create a digital version of the update. In this lesson, you'll transform the city's general plan update into an interactive, collaborative website using ArcGIS Hub. Your site will present the update's purpose in a user-friendly way and provide surveys and events to drive community engagement. You'll also create a template based on your site so other departments can make similar sites for their own initiatives. Expand a business network with demographics (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. Understanding businesses proximate to intermodal facilities will help the railway expand its network of customers. The GIS manager will map intermodal facilities in Iowa, add parameters to determine each nearby business's suitability, then interpret and share the results of the suitability analysis. Visualize and explore coral reef habitats with voxels (ArcGIS Pro) You can explore the ecological range that corals live in with a voxel layer displaying Ecological Marine Unit (EMU) data. EMU data consists of 3D renderings of observations about ocean characteristics based on 50-year averages; the visual analysis done in this lesson might therefore not be indicative of the present-day scenario. Typically, NOAA estimates that optimal water temperatures for coral reefs are between 73° and 84° Fahrenheit (23°-–29°Celsius). The salinity for most reef-building corals ranges from 32 to 42 parts per thousand. You will use voxels to determine areas where the salinity and temperature create an environment that is more conducive to coral bleaching. Perform obstacle analysis with ArcGIS Aviation Airports (ArcGIS Pro Standard or ArcGIS Pro Advanced, ArcGIS Aviation Airports extension) This lesson provides an introduction to ArcGIS Aviation Airports, describing how to load, analyze, and visualize potential aviation obstructions. In the lesson, you'll take the role of a GIS analyst for the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The SFO airport manager is planning on doing construction on a rental car service building near the end of runway 10R. You must analyze the proposed locations of a construction crane and determine if it presents a danger to aircraft operating in the area. Design symbology for a thematic map in ArcGIS Pro (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online) In this lesson, you'll build a simple, clear, and attractive map of population in Indonesia. You'll symbolize province polygons, city points, and road lines. Along the way, you'll learn about common design decisions that will help you create effective symbology for your own thematic maps. Design symbology for a thematic map in ArcGIS Online (ArcGIS Online) In this lesson, you'll build a simple, clear, and attractive map of population in Indonesia. You'll symbolize province polygons, city points, and road lines. Along the way, you'll learn about common design decisions that will help you create effective symbology for your own thematic maps. Explore future climate projections (ArcGIS Pro) Although climate change has become a major political topic, most people have never explored climate data or models of possible future climates. The data is often stored in scientific file formats that require specialized software and can seem unintelligible to those unfamiliar with climate terms and concepts. In this lesson, you'll map historical and projected climate data in ArcGIS Pro. You'll learn about climate at both local and global levels, as well as how climate might change in the future. Overall, you'll gain understanding of major climate concepts and familiarity with real climate data. Identify crime patterns with intelligence-led policing (ArcGIS Insights, ArcGIS Online) You are a crime analyst with the city's Intelligence-Led Policing (ILP) unit, responsible for analyzing data and providing actionable direction for law enforcement activities. You have been tasked by your captain to look at the most common crime types (for example, auto theft) and determine where and when these crimes most often occur in the city. You will use ArcGIS Insights to prepare, visualize, analyze, and ultimately share your results to help make informed police resource decisions regarding auto thefts in a city. You can use ArcGIS Insights, ArcGIS Insights desktop, or ArcGIS Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise to complete this lesson. The lesson is written for ArcGIS Insights desktop but works the same in the other apps. You can choose the app that is appropriate to your organization. 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. Create reports in ArcGIS Insights (ArcGIS Insights) Design and share compelling reports using ArcGIS Insights. Analyze track data captured in Field Maps (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS Tracker) Analyze the patterns of mobile workers and visualize where they've been using ArcGIS Pro.
