IGIS offers GIS, data science workshops

The Informatics and Geographic Information System Program has announced its Fall 2023 Workshop Schedule. All workshops will be on Zoom and are free for the UC ANR community.

Workshops include 

• Intro to ArcGIS Online on Friday, Sept. 22, 1-4 p.m.
• Intro to R Wednesdays workshop series Sept. 27, Oct. 4, 11 and 18 at 10 a.m.-noon

• Intro to Jupyter Notebooks in ArcGIS Pro on Friday, Nov. 17  
• Intro to ArcGIS Story Maps on Friday, Dec. 15, 1-4 p.m.

Unfortunately ArcGIS Pro doesn't run on Macs, however ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Story Maps only require a browser. Mac users can still take the ArcGIS Pro workshop because the training will use a virtual machine that runs in a browser. After the workshop, Mac users will need to find another way to run it. Details and registration for the ArcGIS Pro workshop are at https://igis.ucanr.edu/Training/IntroArcPro_Oct_13_2023.
