About Esri and GIS

Professionals in this growing field will use data to solve real-world problems by applying data engineering concepts, spatial analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) concepts, various tools, and 2D and 3D perspectives to gain new insights into the data.

A GIS is a system that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of data. GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information (what things are like there). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and many industries. GIS helps users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. The benefits include improved communication and efficiency as well as better management and decision-making.

Build Skills Pathway

In this exciting introduction to GIS and mapping, you will gain foundational knowledge of GIS. You’ll discover that GIS is right at your fingertips and you probably didn’t even know it. When you get driving directions on your phone, make a call, take a picture, or check in on social media, GIS is working behind the scenes. Once you have finished with this basic introduction to the power of GIS, you can apply the foundational knowledge that you learn to more specific applications.

Environment and Conservation Pathway

GIS is an integral component to uncovering patterns and trends to protect all aspects of the earth’s ecosystems, such as preserving natural resources or species and monitoring climate change. Some primary uses of GIS in the environment and conservation field are to map and analyze the world to help with resource management, the restoration and preservation of natural resources and the environment, the mapping and monitoring of habitat growth, pollution, and the use of maps and analysis to maintain a healthy balance between humans and nature. GIS is being used around the globe to protect it and help pave the way to a brighter future.

Public Health Pathway

The use of GIS in public health has always been a valuable tool in disease tracking and developing health policies: something that has been made even more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many online COVID-19 mapping resources were created and used by officials, the health community, and the public so that people could monitor and track the pandemic and analyze trends to support hospitals and impacted communities. While the COVID-19 pandemic is a recent example of GIS used in the public health field, GIS was also used to map and analyze the spread of many epidemics, such as SARS and the Zika virus. Using GIS to monitor and manage health issues is impactful to the lives of everyone affected by such issues.

Human Geography Pathway

The importance of location, or place, can determine how people interact, how they live, what they eat, how they dress, and what language they speak. Someone living in a village in Sub-Saharan Africa will have a completely different way of life from someone living in a big city in Southern California. You can use GIS to analyze and explore the relationships and patterns that exist between humans and the earth to gain a better understanding and develop plans to improve their interactions.

Emergency Response Pathway

Emergencies and disasters happen every day: wildfires seem to appear regularly in certain areas during hot summer months in California, hurricanes slam into some coastal areas, volcanoes erupt, an earthquake strikes, or the combination of rainfall, slope, and soils contribute to landslides. Whatever the emergency, quick action, coordination, and planning must occur. GIS is a powerful tool for emergency response because it can help monitor disasters are they are occurring and then manage people and resources to recover in the aftermath. Whenever you hear about a disaster, know that GIS is being used to manage it for the safety and recovery of all those involved.

Built Environment and Policy Pathway

A common application of GIS is to study and preserve the natural environment, such as the air we breathe, the trees that help create it, and the water we drink. Another type of environment that GIS can be applied to is the human-made environment or built environment. The built environment consists of human-made structures, features, and facilities that represent the environment in which people live and work. With the built environment, guidelines or policies provide plans and direction for various initiatives, so policy mapping is also a powerful use of GIS. The places in which we live and work are parts of daily life for us all, and GIS is a powerful tool in managing these environments and better determining policies by adding a spatial component.

Skills you will gain

• Map and evaluate the equitable distribution of resources

• Find the best location to put something, such as a park or store

• Perform spatial analysis
