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.
Using real data and real-world problems and events, the lessons in this guide provide both teachers and students with a fresh approach to imagery and remote sensing in GIS, one that allows learners to take their enthusiasm and run with it.

Readers will understand how to find, evaluate, and analyze data to solve location-based problems. This guide covers practical issues such as copyrights, cloud computing, online data portals, volunteered geographic information, and international data with supplementary exercises.
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.
Remotely sensed images are widely available and have countless potential applications. However, analyzing these images used to be a difficult and expensive process. Now, Esri's ArcGIS 10.x with Image Analysis extension provides tools that can be used by novice and experienced ArcGIS users alike. In this manual, we provide a series of easy-to-understand tutorials to guide you through image analysis prcocesses. By completing our series of tutorials, you will be able to: * Manipulate data in ArcGIS * Obtain and display Landsat imagery * Enhance and analyze Landsat imageryWith links to online videos and additional resources, this manual will help you develop the skills to apply remote sensing image analysis to your own research questions.
One CD-ROM contains a fully functional copy of ArcView 8 software with a trial period of 180 days, the other contains exercise data. Both CD-ROMs must be installed to do the exercises in the book.
