Course content

2 sections • 20 lectures • 3h 24m total length

  • Introduction to GIS6:51

    Explore the three core dimensions of geographic information systems—cartography, coordinates, and information—to create, manipulate, and visualize geospatial data with ArcGIS for hydrology, including projections, shapes, and database linking.

  • Introduction to ArcGIS software8:40

    Learn the basics of ArcGIS software by loading a shapefile, exploring its component files, and applying basic symbology and labels to visualize Italian regions and municipalities with coordinate checks.

  • Selection by Location, attributes, clip features and tables to Excel10:51

    Learn to select by location and attributes, clip features to a Mexico City polygon, and export the results to Excel for hydrology analysis.

  • Performing actions on the data: change the projections, dissolve, clip13:10

    Define projection from decimal degrees to utm zones, applying mexico city data to utm 14n. Create a 500-meter buffer along water lines and dissolve by municipality for unified analysis.

  • From .TXT and .DXF to shapefile10:03

    Convert text and dxf to shapefiles, georeference lines in utm zone 14, join tables, classify connectivity, and edit buffers and merges for hydrology.

  • Calculations with attribute table and KML files in ArcMap10:57

    Manipulate the ArcMap attribute table to add fields, calculate geometry (area, centroid), convert units to square kilometers, create graphs, export PDFs, and convert layers to KML for Google Earth.

  • Export from ArcMap to PDF10:48

    Learn how to export ArcMap maps to pdf by configuring layers, transparency, scale, legend, and north arrow for clear hydrology-focused maps.

  • ArcScene 3D8:23

    Explore ArcScene 3D in ArcGIS for hydrology to visualize data with 3D extruded shapefile forms based on population, using the field calculator and classifying.

  • GIS Example Test14:51

    Think like a GIS analyst by cleaning and merging data in ArcGIS, then use vector and raster methods, including point density, to locate optimal street traffic measurements.

  • AutoCAD fixing polygon coordinates13:35

    Learn practical AutoCAD techniques to fix polygon coordinates, georeference polygons with utm projections, and convert them to shapefiles for use in ArcGIS for hydrology.

Requirements

  • You need to know how to use Windows software
  • You need to own a computer
  • You need to have ArcGIS software on your computer

Description

This course will take you from a beginner in ArcGIS, from downloading data, to performing basic functions. Alonso will teach you the basic concepts, how to perform the main features in the GIS software, use the geoprocessing tools, how to export to AutoCAD, while on the hydrology side Konrad will teach you how to perform hydrology related tasks such as Calculate Flow Direction And Flow Accumulation, Watershed Delineation, Stream Segments And Catchments, Spatial Join To Catchments as well as map layout with elements.

Work side-by-side with the presentation and feel free to ask questions when you don't understand something. This tool is highly looked after in the hydrological field.

Teachers: 

Alonso Gonzalez - GIS research assistant in Mexico

Konrad Hafen - Spatial Modeler, Analyst & Scientist in USA
