Essential Modeling Techniques for Geospatial Analysis Using ArcGIS: An Intermediate-Level GIS Workbook

Nicolas R. Malloy, Humboldt State University

Abstract

This book contains four chapters and six intermediate-level tutorials to introduce students to geospatial modeling techniques. The tutorials represent approximately two-weeks of work for a three-credit 16-week semester course. Though some tutorials presented here cover similar concepts, each represents a complete and independent exercise. The modeling techniques shown here only scratch the surface of what is possible for each. The intent is to introduce readers to a varied array of geospatial modeling techniques, develop the skills needed to be successful in the workplace, and prepare students for more advanced work. Peer review pending.
