In the GEOB 270 course, we are taught to operate GIS applications (ArcGIS) and to perform GIS analyses. From lab 1 to 3, I learned important concepts and skills through completion of GIS tasks using ArcGIS and ArcCatalog.
- Gained basic knowledge of GIS software ArcGIS to display map features, to add data(layers) to map, to manipulate data tables, to create a customized map, and to save the created map to associated data files.
- Compared and Contrasted vector and raster data models to understand each model’s associated visualization effects and datasets processing ways.
- Solved geographical problems in a given scenario to determine possible danger areas through Geographical Analysis Tools (e.g. proximity, reclassify, convert raster to vector, intersect, clip, select by location).
