About the Workshop
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) are specialized computer
systems made for the storage, analysis and display of spatially
referenced information. GIS is rapidly becoming a fundamental
component of modern, knowledge- and information-based forest
management. ArcGIS® is one of the world’s most
widely used GIS software packages. Developed by ESRI, it employs
an easy to use point-and-click interface running on a variety
of different computers (PC, Mac, UNIX). For more information
about ESRI software, visit their web site at www.esri.com.

Luke Rogers, GIS Specialist for the Rural
Technology Initiative and instructor for this course,
is an ESRI-authorized ArcGIS 9 instructor with nearly
a decade of GIS experience in education, research, and
industry. This course covers fundamental GIS concepts
as well as how to query a GIS database, manipulate tabular
data, edit spatial and attribute data, and present data
clearly and efficiently using maps and charts. Participants
learn how to use ArcMap™, ArcCatalog™, and
ArcToolbox™ and explore how these applications
work together to provide a complete GIS software solution.
Students should have experience in the use of computers
and Microsoft Windows® software including spreadsheet
applications. Students should be able to use Windows
Explorer for simple functions such as copying, renaming,
and deleting files and directories. Upon completion of
the course, students will receive the ESRI “Introduction
to ArcGIS 9” Certificate of Course Completion and
are eligible to receive 18
Category 1 Society of American Foresters CFE credits. |
