Calculating Areas in ArcGIS Pro - Q:How many times bigger is Alaska than Texas? A:Which Projection! Moulay Anwar Sounny-Slitine 2022-05-20 | In this video, I look at calculating area in ArcGIS Pro using the calculate geometry tool in the attribute table. I first download data from US Census TIGER, then convert the projection on it. Then I display the projecting in three different formats, Albers, Mercator, and Robinson. Calculate all three projections and compare the sizes of Alaska and Texas. How many times bigger is Alaska than Texas? Good question. Does it depend on which projection you are using? So what do you think the projection should I use after determining that, I make a map composition. Think you can make a better map? Follow along, let's see.
Making a Choropleth Map from FEMA Disaster Declaration GIS shapefile Data with ArcGIS Pro Moulay Anwar Sounny-Slitine 2022-05-19 | In this video, I take GIS Data from FEMA's GIS Data feed, gis.fema.gov/DataFeeds.html then unzip it and add it to an ArcGIS Pro project. From there I make a choropleth map, changing the symbology to graduated color based on the attribute table field Total Decelerations. With this, I notice that the data shows a pattern and that Natural Disasters and not random, so what is driving them? To verify the pattern is not random I run a Moran's I Spatial Autocorrelation tool that leads to a result that there is a clustering of the dataset. Finally, I create a map layout to show this choropleth map, making three map frames, one for the 48 states, the next for Alaska, and the last for Hawaii. Then it is to share the data, I go ahead and export a PDF that is ready to share via email or via a web browser. I did not spend much time making a pretty map. I did add a legend and title, but I think you can do better. Send me your maps in the comments below. Happy Mapping, and keep digital exploring the world!

What is MODIS Aqua - A Visualization of MODIS collecting Data Moulay Anwar Sounny-Slitine 2022-02-21 | The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), is a 36-band spectroradiometer measuring visible and infrared radiation and obtaining data that are being used to derive products ranging from vegetation, land surface cover, and ocean chlorophyll fluorescence to cloud and aerosol properties, fire occurrence, snow cover on the land, and sea ice cover on the oceans. The first MODIS instrument was launched onboard the Terra satellite in December 1999, and the second was launched on Aqua in May 2002.
How to Make an NDVI in ArcGISPro Moulay Anwar Sounny-Slitine 2021-10-05 | In this video, I go through how to make an NDVI in ArcGIS Pro. I take a color infrared image that has both Natural color RGB and the IR band. After creating a color infrared image by changing the band combination in symbology, I then use the Raster Functions to create an NDVI. To have an NDVI with the -1 to 1 scale be sure to choose the scientific output for the pane. ArcGIS Pro does streamline this type of Raster calculation making it do something very similar to what ERDAS Imagine does with preset raster functions.

How to fix “Tool not licensed” error in ArcGIS ArcMap - Turning on Extensions Moulay Anwar Sounny-Slitine 2020-03-24 | If you receive a ‘tool not licensed’ error when trying to use an ArcToolbox tool from an extension (Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, or others) then it’s likely you have not enabled the extension before trying to use it. If the extension has a toolbar, making it visible is not the same as enabling the extension. Note that the error message states no… “license currently available or enabled“. The default install of ArcGIS includes all extensions, so it’s likely not enabled if you’re seeing this message. To remedy this, open the Customize menu and choose Extensions…
