Complete exercise 1 and 2

 

An Introduction to GIS self study will be given – time to be agreed-upon…

 

Please install the GIS software ArcMap 9.2 on your own laptop. The software is a large package for handeling, creating and visualising georeferenced data. A DVD with the software will cirqulate in the group rooms or can be downloaded – see installation instructions.
ArcMap Installation notes

GIS tutorials: (The basics takes 2-4 hours to complete all steps)

ArcCatalog This module within ArcGIS is for organizing GIS data

ArcMap This module is for editing and presenting GIS data

 

Advanced and relevant tutorials for users with some experience:

3D-analyst tutorial
