This catalog showcases the key learnings and skills developed throughout the GIS course, focusing on the use of ArcGIS Pro. It covers the progression from mastering basic commands and tools, to designing layouts, understanding geodesy, and working with vector and raster data models. Each section includes visuals that highlight important concepts, such as map projection, data analysis, and importing external maps. This final catalog represents the culmination of the class, reflecting both theoretical knowledge and practical applications learned during the course.
Cartography Basics
Cartography Basics
We started by learning the basic commands and tools provided by ArcGIS Pro, as shown in the image.
Map Design and Layouts
Map Design and Layouts
In the second week, we learned how to design layouts, identify the main elements, and prepare maps for proper printing, as illustrated here.
Geodesy and Map projections
Geodesy and Map projections
We covered topics such as geodesy, coordinate systems, and projections, which enabled us to create accurate maps like the one presented here.
For example, we used the WGS 1984 UTM Zone 35S projection for Africa, while for areas north of the equator, we would use Zone 35N.
Use of vector/raster data models
Use of vector/raster data models
We also delved deeper into vector and raster data models, and one of the key learnings was adjusting maps according to the topography, as seen in this image.
Data Analysis and Attribute Table Management
Data Analysis and Attribute Table Management
We also learned how to use attribute tables to select, analyze, and merge data, an essential skill for complex projects like the one shown in this image.
Thematic Map Application: Chile Earthquake 2010:
Thematic Map Application: Chile Earthquake 2010:
One of the most interesting applications was creating a thematic map of the aftershocks from the 2010 Chile earthquake, as shown in the image.
Topology and Applications
Topology and Applications
Importation of maps from The National Map, and used ArcGIS Pro to merge data and create raster mosaics, as demonstrated in this example.
