1. SPATIAL ANALYSTSPATIAL ANALYST With support from: NSF DUE-0903270 Prepared by: in partnership with: Jennifer McKee Geospatial Technician Education Through Virginia’s Community Colleges (GTEVCC)

2. SPATIAL ANALYSTSPATIAL ANALYST ArcGIS Extension Provides spatial analysis & modeling tools for vector & raster data Examples: – Creating new data from existing, e.g. slope or hillshade raster from DEM – Performing distance & cost-of-travel analyses – Interpolate data values based on sample (point) data

3. HOW TO ACCESS S.A. TOOLSHOW TO ACCESS S.A. TOOLS ArcToolbox – Must search for tool if location unknown Model Builder – Use tools or scripts in models Python – interactive command line or script Raster Calculator – for simple map algebra

7. R.C. EXAMPLER.C. EXAMPLE Want to query DEM to locate all areas with 600 meters or greater elevation "eggleston" >= 600 Results in boolean output: 1 = true, 0 = false

9. R.C. EXAMPLE CONTINUEDR.C. EXAMPLE CONTINUED Combining multiple boolean outputs to find an area that meets your criteria For example: you want to identify areas that have elevation >= 600 meters & have a slope >= 30% 1."eggleston" >= 600 2."Slope" >= 30 3."Above600m" & "slopeabove30“ OR 1.("eggleston" >= 600) & ("Slope" >= 30) 2 separate queries for each criteria & then combine boolean outputs 1 compound query for both criteria
