Welcome to the last course of the specialization (unless your continuing on to the capstone project, of course!). Using the knowledge you’ve learned about ArcGIS, complete technical tasks such raster calculations and suitability analysis. In this class you will become comfortable with spatial analysis and applications within GIS during four week-long modules: Week 1: You'll learn all about remotely sensed and satellite imagery, and be introduced to the electromagnetic spectrum. At the end of this week, you'll be able to find and download satellite imagery online and use it for two common types of analysis: NDVI and trained classification. Week 2: You'll learn how to use ModelBuilder to create large processing workflows that use parameters, preconditions, variables, and a new set of tools. We'll also explore a few topics that we don't really have time to discuss in detail, but might whet your appetite for future learning in other avenues: geocoding, time-enabled data, spatial statistics, and ArcGIS Pro. Week 3: In week three, we'll make and use digital elevation models using some new, specific tools such as the cut fill tool, hillshades, viewsheds and more. We'll also go through a few common algorithms including a very important one: the suitability analysis. Week 4: We'll begin the final week by talking about a few spatial analyst tools we haven't yet touched on in the specialization: Region Group to make our own zones, Focal Statistics to smooth a hillshade, Reclassify to change values, and Point Density to create a density surface. Finally, we'll wrap up by talking about a few more things that you might want to explore more as you start working on learning about GIS topics on your own. Take Geospatial and Environmental Analysis as a standalone course or as part of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Specialization. You should have equivalent experience to completing the first, second, and third courses in this specialization, "Fundamentals of GIS," "GIS Data Formats, Design, and Quality", and "Geospatial and Environmental Analysis," respectively, before taking this course. By completing the fourth class you will gain the skills needed to succeed in the Specialization capstone.

ModelBuilder and Other Topics
In this module, we will learn about ModelBuilder, a drag and drop tool for automating, and reusing workflows in ArcGIS. We'll explore how models are constructed, build our own models, and undertake building a large processing workflow together in ModelBuilder that uses parameters, preconditions, variables, and a set of tools we haven't used before to work. In the second half of the module, we'll take a brief look at a few topics you should know about, but that we won't have time to explore in depth. You'll be introduced to geocoding, time enabled data, spatial statistics, and ArcGIS Pro. These are little teasers of potential capabilities you might want to explore more in the future on your own.

Hello again, and welcome back.
In this lecture, I'm going to finish off our odds and ends lesson and
show you a bit about ArcGIS Pro.
At some point we're still hoping to get license access for
all of you to use ArcGIS Pro.
It really is the future of ArcGIS on the desktop.
But, we haven't been able to secure that just yet.
That said, your time learning ArcGIS in ArcMap isn't lost in any way.
Once you know ArcMap, you can learn ArcGIS Pro very quickly.
In a few hours you can pick up the differences between ArcGIS Pro in desktop
and be effective in Pro.
The core concepts of GIS and spacial analysis that you've been using throughout
these courses, those translate with you.
You don't lose those when you switch to GIS software.
You could also go learn QGIS at this point.
And you're really just learning a few interface things.
But all of your strategies and all of you thought process, and all of you knowledge
of geospacial data, that translates no matter which software package you go to.
So, that actually makes things really useful.
You can use different GIS packages to help you with different projects,
depending upon how the workflow goes in each of those and what tools they have.
For those of you who like to follow along,
you're probably just going to have to sit back and relax for this one,
because we don't have access for you as of the time of recording.
So, feel free to just kind of take a look at the differences and
then maybe come back and review this once you get access to ArcGIS Pro.
So, this is what ArcGIS Pro looks like once you start it up.
I had to sign in using a sign in prompt with my organizational account to do this.
That's what we're trying to get for all of you.
There's a new licensing model that uses a license server as well so
bigger organizations can use those.
But I'm signed in now.
And so this is the first screen that I get after signing in.
And what I'm going to do is,
I'm just going to choose a blank project template over here.
And I'm going to give it a name, Coursera Demo.
How about that?
And what it's going to do is, it's automatically going to create a new folder
for this project in default folder ArcGISProjects here.
And here's the cool thing about Pro,
is Pro gets that a GIS project isn't a single map document.
It understands that I should be working in ArcGIS Pro on one entire project.
And it tries to get me to consolidate all my data into one folder,
that it just created the project folder.
And if I go to the Project pane, it, in fact, gives me access to that folder here.
And the project has different Maps.
And I can have Toolboxes stored in the project.
And it creates a default one for
me here under my project folder as CourseraDemo.tbx.
And it creates a default geodatabase for me in that project.
No more having one monolithic default geodatabase or
having to set it every time you create a new project.
So this is really handy.
It encourages good data design and storage here, for at least small projects.
Other than that, there are some familiar things.
We have our table of contents on the left and our tools are up top.
But to the love of many of you, and
the disdain of many others of you, this is Microsoft's ribbon toolbar system.
And personally, I love this,
because I think that this is really good user interface and
user experience design right here, because everything's laid out in front of you.
No more mystery meat toolbars that things are hidden under.
Switching to the ribbons tends to frustrate people who have learned
a menuing system.
But ArcMap just had things scattered all over the place.
And ArcGIS Pro really made an effort to stop hiding so much functionality and
to really show you things right in front of you.
So almost everything is accessible from the toolbars up here,
at least as a gateway to everything else.
And from there you might have a panel fly out,
but other than that, it's either up here or it's in a panel.
And usually you get access to a panel from a button up here or
from some other interface option.
And if we go to the MAP tab here, a lot of the stuff's grayed out,
so what's going on?
I don't have a data frame.
I don't have any sort of geographic space in here.
Well, how do I make this work?
Well, I'm going to go to Insert, and I need to add a new map to my document.
And I can add a map, a scene, and a basemap here.
And a scene is just like we saw with ArcScene, it's a 3D viewing space.
And then a new map is what we're used to, the 2D version.
So, I can add a new map here.
And it pops up in a tab.
And all of a sudden I see a table of contents.
And it does me a favor and just adds a base map for me,
a default base map to give me some context.
And from there my tools start getting enabled in the top bar here.
Well, say I was done with my map now.
What if I want to start looking at it in Layout View to present it?
Well, where's Layout View?
I'm not sure anymore, right?
And in fact, I kind of don't have a real data frame to have in Layout View.
I have my map here, and this is analogous to my data frame.
If I go to Properties I get some of the same sorts of things I'd see in
a data frame.
But there aren't data frames anymore, there are maps.
And there is no Layout View anymore, there are layouts.
And I can insert a new layout into this project and
I'll just select a normal page size letter here and that opens as a new tab here.
And on my layout, I can add a new map frame here.
And I'm going to put it in a Default.
And then I can select to Activate it, just like I usually do in Layout View.
And, just to make some things clear, let's rename these.
I'm going to right-click on the main data frame here, the main map here.
And I'm going to name it Main Map, and the tab name changes.
And I'm going to go to Layout, and I'm going to right-click on the layout and
rename it as well.
And I'm going to call it Main Layout.
And if I had multiple maps in my map document now,
so, say I'm going to add another map.
So, I have the equivalent of two Arc map data frames in the map document now,
and I have one layout.
Well, what if I wanted to make sure that this is actually
tied to the new map I just added?
Right now it's tied to Main Map.
And so, did you notice that when I went to Properties here,
instead of getting a dialogue I got a pane on the right here?
And so, a lot of times properties are here and
I have different tabs in these panes as well.
And I can select which map this layout is tied to from here.
So, not much changes because I don't have any actual data in these, right?
But, I can still select which map a layout is tied to.
And I now have multiple maps.
And I'm no longer tied to one single layout in a map document.
I can add another layout into this map document as well,
into this project document.
I'm going to [LAUGH] keep saying that document probably for a couple of years,
so if I'm in ArcGIS Pro, it's a project document.
And so, I can have multiple layouts and multiple maps,
the equivalent of data frames in a single document here, in a single project here.
So, I think these are really cool things.
Esri has clearly done quite a bit of research into how people try to use ArcMap
and the kinds of workarounds they had to do to make ArcMap conducive to
geospacial workflows for larger projects.
And they've incorporated a lot of that into here.
And while I'm showing this here, I can also add a new scene to my document.
And what's kind of nice is, this combines some of the best features of ArcScene and
ArcGlobe, in that I can have global scenes and local scenes.
And a global scene uses a global terrain layer built-in by default.
And any time I put 3D data or
2D data, I can reference it to the surface of this scene here.
And a local scene has it's own coordinate systems and own elevation sources.
So, they're slightly different, but they're kind of like ArcScene used to be.
And I can all of a sudden work in 3D directly in the same program and
in the same document as I have my 2D mapping data.
And then I can now add those to the same layouts.
So, I can add a map frame tied to a scene now, to this map layout.
So, this is pretty powerful stuff.
It's the kind of thing that really has been needed for a while.
And Esri's been building it in the background in ArcGIS Pro.
And ArcMap and
ArcCatalog are going to start fading into the background while Pro comes into view.
The last thing I want to show you is geoprocessing.
So, under Analysis, I can click Tools, and I get a Geoprocessing pane here.
And it shows me a Favorites list by default, but
I can also still look at all the Toolboxes and
browse and expand them, just like I did before, all the same tools.
But the search dialog's finally integrated in with geoprocessing.
No separate search in Geoprocessing here.
And I can say, find the Dissolve tool or something like that.
And if I click to open it up, it opens right here.
There's no more pop-up obscuring your view.
Geoprocessing all happens in your side pane here.
And it's a dialogue built-in.
And the Environments pane is just another tab on the Geoprocessing pane here.
And if I were to fill this in, I could click Run,
and it would start running right here.
And it would finish and add data to my map just like it used to.
Similarly, we'll notice that there's no selection options up here.
So, we used to have a selections menu.
Selection always was something that happened in a geoprocessing tool,
or at least select by location and select by attributes were.
We can still do the kinds of interactive selection we used to,
that hasn't gone away, and you'll see that here.
But I don't have the select by attributes options up here,
because those weren't geoprocessing tools.
And so, if I want to use them I just have to go find them in the Toolbox now.
And go to select by attributes, say.
And Select Layer By Attribute comes up, and I can use it right here.
And it even has a handy query builder now, where I can write SQL, but
I can also just add clauses here and select fields and options.
And it's going to be a nicer query builder for you when you're working with it.
There's a lot more that's changed in ArcGIS Pro, but I'd say that the bulk of
it you're going to be very familiar with if you do switch to using it.
I think it's a great application.
It's not quite my daily driver yet.
I still use ArcMap for the most part, but ArcGIS Pro is so close.
It's a great application.
I'm just waiting for a few quirks to get worked out that affect my workflows.
But it's solid, it's stable, and it's really nice to use in my opinion.
And I think that if you haven't been used to using ArcMap for a really long time,
that switching over to it, it's going to be really advantageous to your workflows.
The last thing I'll mention is that Pro is really well tied into
a lot of the online services.
So, once you are using Pro, it's a lot more attractive to
use some of Esri's online services than it has been with ArcMap.
ArcMap has some token tie-ins but
Pro is really deeply integrated, so it's a nice package overall.
Okay, that's it for now.
In this lecture I just wanted to give you a quick introduction to ArcGIS Pro and
show you around a bit.
I know that you couldn't follow along in this case for most of you, and
we're hoping to get you access to ArcGIS Pro sometime soon.
That way you'll be able to practice using it and
have experience with both, depending upon any employer preferences that you have,
whether they have access to Pro or ArcMap.
Okay, that's it.
I'll see you next time.
