    Use location to find patterns and tackle complex problems.

    Spatial data science allows analysts to extract deeper insight from data using a comprehensive set of analytical methods and spatial algorithms, including machine learning and deep learning techniques. This course explores the application of spatial data science to uncover hidden patterns and improve predictive modeling. You'll work with powerful analytical tools in Esri's ArcGIS software and learn how to integrate popular open data science packages into your analyses.

    • Note: Course exercises use ArcGIS Pro 3.3, which requires Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.x (x64). For the best experience, confirm that you have this .NET version or install the update before the course opens. If you plan to use a machine that requires an IT administrator to install or update software, please contact them now for assistance. For detailed information, read this blog post.
    Download Course Topics and Tips for Success

    • Understand how spatial data science helps uncover hidden patterns.
    • Use ArcGIS data engineering methods and visualization tools to prepare data for spatial analysis.
    • Gain hands-on experience performing suitability analysis, predictive modeling, space-time pattern mining, and object detection.
    • Communicate analysis results and insights using engaging and compelling ArcGIS StoryMaps.

    Familiarity with statistics and Python will be helpful but is not required.


    Esri provides free access to ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Notebooks, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, and ArcGIS Image Analyst software during the course. You will need to download the software and run it on a machine that meets the ArcGIS Pro system requirements.A broadband Internet connection and a web browser that allows access to embedded video files are required. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge and a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet.

    Harness the power of place.

    Using modern, no-code technologies, anyone can build useful and engaging geo apps. Learn how to fuse location data, web GIS capabilities, and narrative into immersive app experiences for desktop, web, and mobile users. Explore four popular ArcGIS apps and build skills to design and share apps that feature dynamic GIS capabilities and content. Each week of the course will focus on a different app. 

    Goals

    • Transform web maps into attractive apps that anyone can use to explore and analyze data, access content galleries, and interact with map features and information.
    • Build interactive, map-driven stories to share data and communicate impactfully with your audience.
    • Configure interactive dashboards that combine maps and dynamic data visualizations to empower leaders, stakeholders, or the public with at-a-glance insights.
    • Create immersive web apps for mobile, tablet, and desktop users that include any combination of maps, web pages, widgets, and 2D and 3D data.

    Suggested Skills

    Familiarity with basic GIS concepts and ArcGIS software will be helpful but is not required.

    Software

    Esri provides free access to ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Instant Apps, ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS StoryMaps, and ArcGIS Experience Builder during the course. 

    A broadband Internet connection and a web browser that allows access to embedded video files are required—we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge. For the best experience, attend the course using a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet.
