About the Course

In this course, you will learn how to analyze map data using different data types and methods to answer geographic questions. First, you will learn how to filter a data set using different types of queries to find just the data you need to answer a particular question. Then, we will discuss simple yet powerful analysis methods that use vector data to find spatial relationships within and between data sets. In this section, you will also learn about how to use ModelBuilder, a simple but powerful tool for building analysis flowcharts that can then also be run as models. You will then learn how to find, understand, and use remotely sensed data such as satellite imagery, as a rich source of GIS data. You will then learn how to analyze raster data. Finally, you will complete your own project where you get to try out the new skills and tools you have learned about in this course. Note: software is not provided for this course....

Don Boyes is a great instructor for this Course. He describes all the topics very clearly and interestingly. His teaching ability is good enough to catch the topics easily for the beginner.

I recommend this course for anyone who want to learn more about GIS and ESRI ArcMap. Professor's explanations are clear and understandable, although the topic is not so easy. Students get one year software licence for the best tool and necessary knowledge.

This course was a simple, yet great way to gain perspective about geospatial data and use it to make wise decisions. In particular, the remote sensing and raster analysis section have opened the door to a whole new area of spatial analysis for me. I would like to take the chance to thank Don Boyes for his interesting, well-structured, and clear lectures. I would also like to appreciate Coursera , giving me the opportunity to participate in this course.

This a very well-thought-out course! The flow of discussion is logical and the course's coverage is comprehensive. Dr. Don Boyes did good job of putting this course together! I recommend this course to anyone—whether you're a beginner or you just want to augment your existing knowledge of spatial analysis and remote sensing using a GIS. I can't wait to take other courses in this specialization.

The course is exquisitely well explained. There are not any assumptions on concepts "you should know", the professor explains everything. I have taken more than 20 online courses and I can easily say that this one is between the best ones I have taken. Extremely recommended for anyone who wishes to venture in GIS for spatial analysis with vector data and remote sensing through satellite imagery.

The course provides very interesting elements for those of us who are learning everything related to GIS. Although my strength is not the analysis of satellite imagery, there are many tools that are useful. Like the two previous courses, very good material and the videos are very clear. Thanks for all the learnings!

Lo mejor de este curso es que el profesor explica desde una perspectiva técnica, cómo utilizar distintas herramientas disponibles en ArcMAP, y también da muchos detalles que permiten entender la esencia de los geoprocesamientos, es decir entender qué es lo que uno hace desde una perspectiva espacial/geográfica.
