Shellito’s Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro provides students with hands-on work with GIS software, while explaining the “how” and “why” behind each application. Software changes quickly—the theory has a longer shelf life. The goal of Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro is to teach students how to combine GIS concepts with ArcGIS Pro software skills, preparing students for successful careers in the real world. Each chapter focuses on using a variety of ArcGIS tools in a real-world context. At the start of each chapter, a scenario puts the student in a particular role with a number of tasks to accomplish.

Bradley Shellito’s new textbook uses hands-on experience to introduce both the “how” and “why” of geographic information systems. Students learn to combine an understanding of basic GIS concepts with practical ArcGIS skills, following step-by-step instructions to accomplish a wide range of real-world tasks and applications while always keeping sight on the conceptual basis and practical impact of what they are doing. Discovering GIS and ArcGIS is appropriate for introductory GIS courses, or advanced or applied GIS courses. Instructors will find the coverage they need for a single intro-level course, a single advanced or applied course, or a two-course sequence.

This is a hands-on book about ArcGIS that you work with as much as read. By the end, using Learn ArcGIS lessons, you'll be able to say you made a story map, conducted geographic analysis, edited geographic data, worked in a 3D web scene, built a 3D model of Venice, and more.

This comprehensive reference answers the myriad of questions involved in combining GIS and GPS for maximum benefit. Real-life case studies give users the opportunity to consider every aspect of systems integration before the process is started. 20 color photos, 30 maps, 5 charts.

Lindsey loves mapping! Follow along as she collects information about the world around her to make a map of her favorite park. The first in a STEAM career-themed picture book series, Lindsey the GIS Professional describes what geographic information systems (GIS) means, what information is needed to make a map, and how to collect that information. Then Lindsey shows how to take all that information to create a map of her favorite park. Perfect for encouraging spatial thinking! For grades 1-5. Includes a glossary.

Create 2D maps and 3D scenes, analyze GIS data, and share your results with the GIS community using the latest ArcGIS Pro 2 features Key FeaturesGet up to speed with the new ribbon-based user interface, projects, models, and common workflows in ArcGIS Pro 2Learn how to visualize, maintain, and analyze GIS dataAutomate analysis and processes with ModelBuilder and Python scriptsBook Description Armed with powerful tools to visualize, maintain, and analyze data, ArcGIS Pro 2 is Esri's newest desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that uses the modern ribbon interface and a 64-bit processor to make using GIS faster and more efficient. This second edition of Learning ArcGIS Pro will show you how you can use this powerful desktop GIS application to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and maintain data. The book begins by showing you how to install ArcGIS and listing the software and hardware prerequisites. You’ll then understand the concept of named user licensing and learn how to navigate the new ribbon interface to leverage the power of ArcGIS Pro for managing geospatial data. Once you’ve got to grips with the new interface, you’ll build your first GIS project and understand how to use the different project resources available. The book shows you how to create 2D and 3D maps by adding layers and setting and managing the symbology and labeling. You’ll also discover how to use the analysis tool to visualize geospatial data. In later chapters, you’ll be introduced to Arcade, the new lightweight expression language for ArcGIS, and then advance to creating complex labels using Arcade expressions. Finally, you'll use Python scripts to automate and standardize tasks and models in ArcGIS Pro. By the end of this ArcGIS Pro book, you’ll have developed the core skills needed for using ArcGIS Pro 2.x competently. What you will learnNavigate the user interface to create maps, perform analysis, and manage dataDisplay data based on discrete attribute values or range of valuesLabel features on a GIS map based on one or more attributes using ArcadeCreate map books using the map series functionalityShare ArcGIS Pro maps, projects, and data with other GIS community membersExplore the most used geoprocessing tools for performing spatial analysisCreate Tasks based on common workflows to standardize processesAutomate processes using ModelBuilder and Python scriptsWho this book is for If you want to learn ArcGIS Pro to create maps and, edit and analyze geospatial data, this ArcGIS book is for you. No knowledge of GIS fundamentals or experience with any GIS tool or ArcGIS software suite is required. Basic Windows skills, such as navigating and file management, are all you need.
