Course Description

I WANNA LEARN SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS, BUT…

  • I found most spatial data books & manuals vague

  • There are no courses that actually teach me how it’s actually done

  • Available resources are expensive & I can’t afford them

  • I want to get a job in the field of GIS and geospatial analysis

  • I work in the field of ecology or quantitative social sciences or hydrology or civil engineering or geography

If you found yourself in one of these situations, then..

I’VE GOT GREAT NEWS FOR YOU!

Over the past few months, I have published multiple courses on Udemy around this topic which will be tremendously helpful to you & most important of all AFFORDABLE!

Today, I’ve created yet another powerful resource for you!

In this course, over 50+ hands-on and practical lecture, I will help you master the most common and important geo-processing tasks that can be performed with ArcGIS Desktop, one of THE MOST important GIS software tools available.

I will also show you the kind of questions answered through Spatial Analysis & data used.

THE STEPS I’LL WALK YOU THROUGH:

First of all, we’ll start some basic GIS tasks like “Zooming”.

Then, we’ll move into more complex processing tasks like “Geo-Statistics”.

We’ll also deal with some theoretical concepts related to Spatial Data Analysis, and then we’ll focus on implementing some of the most common GIS techniques (all the way showing you how to execute these tasks in ArcGIS Desktop).

The stuff you’ll learn from this course will be extremely useful in terms of you being able to implement it on future Spatial Data projects you’ll be working on (in a variety of disciplines from ecology to engineering).

LEARN FROM AN ACTUAL EXPERT IN THIS AREA:

My name is MINERVA SINGH.

I am an Oxford University MPhil (Geography and Environment) graduate.

I recently finished my PhD at Cambridge University (Tropical Ecology and Conservation).

I have SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in analyzing REAL LIFE DATA from different sources in ArcGIS Desktop.

I’ve also published my work in many international peer reviewed journals.

HERE IS HOW MY COURSE IS UNIQUE..

My course is a HANDS ON TRAINING with REAL data.

It’s a step by step course covering both the THEORY & APPLICATION of Spatial Data Analysis.

I teach Practical Stuff that you can learn quickly and start implementing NOW.

This is one of the most comprehensive courses on this topic.

I advise you to take advantage of it & enroll in the course TODAY!

TAKE ACTION TODAY! I will personally support you and ensure your experience with this course is a success. I answer all questions put to me and guide my students when they get stuck. 

Please make sure you have access to ArcGIS before enrolling

Instructor Details

Minerva Singh

I completed a PhD (University of Cambridge, UK) in 2017 where I focussed on implementing data science techniques for quantifying the impact of forest loss on tropical ecosystems. I hold an MPhil (School of Geography and Environment) and an MSc (Department of Engineering) from Oxford University. I have more than 10 year's experience in conducting academic research (published in high level peer-reviewed international scientific journals such as PLOS One) and advising both non-governmental and industry stakeholders in data science, deep learning and earth observation (EO) related topics.

I have a strong track record in implementing machine learning, data visualization, spatial data analysis, deep learning and natural language processing tasks using both R and Python. In addition to being educated at the best universities in the world, I have honed my statistical and data analysis skills through many MOOCs, including The Analytics Edge (R based statistics and machine learning course offered by EdX), Statistical Learning (R-based Machine Learning course offered by Stanford online) and the IBM Data Science Professional certificate Track. I specialise in a variety of topics ranging from deep learning (Tensorflow, Keras) to machine learning to spatial data analysis (including EO data processing), data visualizations, natural language processing, financial analysis among others. I have acted as a peer reviewer on highly

Organization of material and instructions make sense. Spends a good amount of time talking about the steps but providing some broader conceptual context / motivation to the "why" of the feature could be helpful. Not really the instructors' fault per se, but the focus on the version-specific interfaces (rather than what the operations were in principle) made some the exercises challenging to follow as a ArcGIS pro (student) user!

By Lal Bahadur Maurya on 12/16/2022

The experience was good, infact I have been working with ArcGis for quite some time, which I had learned by myself. Its now that I came to know about few terminologies and few functions in Spatial Analysis tool.

By Shadrach Sehmilo Sheriff on 6/2/2022

My goal for this course was to reinforce my knowledge in ArcGIS analysis and it was certainly met by the tutor. The course was very robust and really gave theoretical and practical approaches to processes and methods involved in the analysis of spatial data. Thank you Dr. Minerva.

I have a background in Tableau. I am in the process of transitioning from Tableau to ArcGIS. Despite this being on ArcGIS Desktop, everything taught in this video is applicable on ArcGIS pro. As long you understand how to work with your ArcGIS, you know what you are doing. –which is what matters the most.

Dobra powtórka ze studiów. Troche mniej rzeczy ale przedstawione zrozumiale, dobrze skondensowana wiedza. Testy mile mnie zaskoczyły, wymagały dobreg zrozumienia lekcji i obsługi programu. Dużo czasu jednak zajeło mi szukanie danych do konkretnych zadań, szkoda ze ich nazwy nie były podane przy zadaniach. Generalnie jestem zadowolona, miło się słucha. Skrypt troche błednie zrobiony, gubi się przy slowach i niektórych zdaniach, więc za całokształt 4.5

By Swati Mukherjee on 4/24/2020

Though at first, you were teaching well, you never solve student's queries. I sent you a mail because I am facing a problem but you don't take that seriously, I have sent you a tweet also. half of the resources are missing and you didn't even ask to convert excel into CSV format

By Iva Mihaylova on 8/10/2018

The course is well-structured and clearly explained. It will be useful Minerva to prepare a more advanced ArcGIS course with some project examples because currently there is no such a course on Udemy. Similarly to other users, I had some difficulties finding files that accompanied the topics.

By Yu Song on 7/6/2018

The course is based on real data. The guide and suggestions from Minerva are very straightforward and useful. It covers a wide range of analyzing functions ArcGIS provides. Recommend!

By Mary Chapman on 3/10/2018

This is a super comprehensive course on ArcGIS. In the space of a few hours I feel I have gone from literally knowing nothing about ArcGIS to actually implementing some of the techniques on my own GIS data

By Vaishali Pradhan on 9/11/2017

I already have a background in GIS and was taking this course to refresh my skills. This course gives a very detail view of different uses of ArcToolbox which is a very important part of any analysis. Some of the lectures, specially the ones with geostatistical concepts seemed a bit rushed, but I did learned a lot from these lectures and would recommend it to everyone.
