What skills will I learn?
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Understand the types of spatial analysis and techniques you can apply based on the question you want to answer or the problem you want to solve.
- Organize a project for success by planning each analysis step, choosing suitable tools, and preparing data to ensure valid results.
- Automate analysis workflows using batch-processing and models that let you quickly and interactively explore multiple scenarios.
- Sample workflows used for more complex projects, including interpolation and suitability modeling, and evaluate results using spatial statistics.
