North Dakota GIS Conference 2006: Workshops
Fundamentals and Applications of Remote Sensing
Presented by: Brad Rundquist, Associate Professor of Geography, University of North Dakota
Remote sensing is the science, art, and technology of characterizing, measuring, and mapping surface or near-surface Earth features using instruments removed from the surface. This workshop will explore the physical basis for remote sensing, guidelines for selecting the appropriate sensor for a given problem, and a range of potential applications.
Introduction to ArcPad: Mobile GIS
Presented by: Gregory Vandeberg, Assistant Professor of Geography, University of North Dakota
» PowerPoint Presentation (5.6Mb ppt)
» Lab Exercise (52kb doc)
ArcPad is a mobile GIS product of the ESRI Corporation that lets you take GIS out into the field on your handheld and mobile devices such as an HP IPAQ pocket PC. The program also interfaces with GPS and wireless communication. ArcPad allows you to create and edit files in the field, and input information into streamlined forms that save time and maintain consistency. This workshop will focus on the basics of ArcPad such as exploring data, editing data in the field, capturing data from GPS, creating a QuickForm, and downloading data into ArcGIS. The workshop will consist of lectures, demonstrations and a short field exercise.
