Geospatial and Environmental Analysis
Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
Apply your GIS knowledge in this course on geospatial analysis, focusing on analysis tools, 3D data, working with rasters, projections, and environment variables. Through all four weeks of this course, we'll work through a project together - something unique to this course - from project conception, through data retrieval, initial data management and processing, and finally to our analysis products. In this class you will learn the fundamentals of geospatial and environmental analysis during four week-long modules: Week 1: Tour ArcToolbox and learn how to use common geospatial analysis tools built into ArcGIS Week 2: Gain a working understanding of raster data models: symbolize, reproject, overlay, and assess rasters. Take a detour into 3D data models, and interpolation of observations into 3D surfaces and rasters Week 3: Go in-depth on projections and coordinate systems, which are foundational to all GIS. Learn how to use environment variables to constrain your analyses and get better quality data products. Week 4: Expand your knowledge of symbology. Learn how to visually display your data by classifying it in logical groupings and then symbolizing it on your map. Take Geospatial and Environmental Analysis as a standalone course or as part of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Specialization. You should have equivalent experience to completing the first and second courses in this specialization, "Fundamentals of GIS" and "GIS Data Formats, Design, and Quality", before taking this course. By completing this third class in the Specialization you will gain the skills needed to succeed in the full program.

final assignment
The videos are laid out in a progression that makes sense and the final assignment does a good job of incorporating the major points from the videos.
awesome I have learned a lot in ArcGIS tools and when to use which tool to help analyzing my GIS data Challenging final assignment was excellent Nice course part of the specialisation.
There was a lot of ground to cover, and at times I was frustrated and lost, but ultimately that's the nature of the beast.The final assignment was a good amalgamation of the skills used in the course, though many people had issues with the assets provided.
It was a bit different from other course especially the final assignment which lay more stress on raster analysis than vector analysis.

geoprocessing tools
Very informative Great course helping to extend skills for people interested in spatial analysis This course covers some of the most useful geoprocessing tools.
Amazing This course gives good and many examples of various geoprocessing tools but goes through them a little quick in my opinion.

previous courses
Compare to the two previous courses, this one is harder; one covers a lot of topics.
Really great course to dig ArcGIS This course adds more knowledge to that covered in the previous courses in the specialization, but its organization could use some improvement.
The exercises provided are good practice, but they also repeat a bit too much material from the previous courses at times.

final project
The course is full of detailed videos and practical work, and the final project helps to make sense of it all.
Some of the topics seemed slightly out of place when first presented, but it all came together in the final project.
