Event Details

About this Event

A geographic information system (GIS) is a powerful tool for mapping and analyzing spatial data. Discover how GIS can support your research, and how the ArcGIS Online platform—a robust, user-friendly, web-based mapping tool—can help explain and analyze your data.

During this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to practice using Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform with the assistance of instructors. You’ll explore how to add data to an online map and display it in a web-mapping application that can be viewed on many platforms, including web browsers, desktop map viewers and mobile devices. 

The workshop will be led by Lillian Wang, GIS specialist and cartographer for the Delaware Geological Survey; Olena Smith, lead geospatial information consultant for UD IT Research Cyberinfrastructure; and Kayla Abner, digital scholarship librarian. It is co-sponsored by UD IT Research Cyberinfrastructure, the Delaware Geological Survey and the Graduate College.

This is a hybrid workshop that is open to UD students, faculty and staff. You may choose to join us in person or via Zoom.

Registration is required. Once registered, you will receive an email with details on how to join the workshop via Zoom.

All attendees will need to show ID upon arrival. In addition, all attendees will need to complete the UD Daily Health Check the day of the event, and show the green icon reflecting health clearance upon arrival. Face masks are required for this workshop due to its classroom setting.

If necessitated by the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, this in-person workshop may be shifted to a virtual format, postponed or canceled. Attendees will be notified by email if this occurs.
