Instructors: Michael Gould, PhD., Education Manager, Esri and Professor at University Jaume I (Spain)Teresa Townsend, AICP, Chief Executive Officer, Planning CommunitiesThis half-day workshop will provide participants with hands-on experience in GIS workflows for identifying and analyzing urban extreme heat using local community datasets. Where does extreme heat occur, how does tree cover affect heat, and who are the vulnerable populations affected?
This is the first step in a medium-term project to train university students, GIS professionals, and urban planners/designers (both key stakeholders in a city) in a set of simple, consistent heat index mapping workflows.
Learning Objectives:- Sourcing geospatial data
- Online GIS (everything is done using ArcGIS Online)
- Basic image processing
- Population data basics
- Creation of a Composite Index
- Cartographic techniques
- Publication of the results
- Storytelling (StoryMaps)- optional
Participants will work in a group setting.
Bring your own laptop, and ArcGIS Online licenses will be provided for the workshop exercises.
Cost: One full-day or one half-day workshop is included with full conference registration. The cost to add a second half-day workshop is $100 member/$125 nonmember.
