ESRI

Availability: Labs
Comparable:  Google Earth

Esri’s ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) for working with maps and geographic information. Users can research maps, images, geo databases, and tools, as a web service.

Technical Support

Project Mosaic offers some workshops for free to UNC Charlotte faculty and graduate students on various GIS topics. In addition, social scientists can consult with Project Mosaic staff on how to best incorporate geospatial technologies in their research and overcome technical difficulties. Please email Project Mosaic at projectmosaicconsult@uncc.edu.

Resources

In addition, ESRI provides a number of technical forums, see: ESRI’s support site.  You may be able to diagnose an ArcGIS problem using the Knowledge Base or download the most recent Patches and Service Packs for ESRI software.

Elie Saliba (ehsaliba@uncc.edu), one of the IT consultants for Geography and Earth Sciences, can provide additional support or can be a liaison with ESRI customer service.

Best Practices

Services like tile caching, geocoding, and analysis in ArcGIS Online consume the most credits if students are doing heavy processing with large data sets. It’s recommended they do so with ArcGIS for Desktop instead, then publish the results in ArcGIS Online. Local processing with ArcGIS for Desktop is free and users will only consume credits for storage in the cloud. Promoting this workflow can drastically reduce credit consumption. Additional details can be viewed here.
