Downloadable PDF version of this class (1.8 MB)

The purpose of this class is twofold - to introduce people to the possibilities for using the National Landcover Dataset 2001 (NLCD 2001) and the Maine Landcover Dataset 2004 (MELCD 2004) products with GIS, and to provide an introduction to raster analysis with Spatial Analyst in the process.  Students will already need a basic understanding of GIS, how to use ArcGIS, and a familiarity with raster data.

This class is a review of the data and associated tools, there are no exercises.

This class requires a basic understanding of raster data, and familiarity with ESRI's ArcMap application.  We recommend completing the prerequisite classes listed above, as this class will NOT review these basic concepts.
