06 Jun Remote Sensing Using ArcGIS Pro Workshops

Workshop locations and dates:

• Williamsburg, VA, August 5 – 6, 2019
• Blacksburg, VA, August 14 – 15, 2019

Two “Remote Sensing Using ArcGIS Pro” workshops are being offered this August in Williamsburg, Virginia and Blacksburg, Virginia. These workshops are designed for geospatial / planning / natural resource managers / and others associated with local governments, PDC’s, state agencies, federal government agencies, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and academia.

These are comprehensive workshops that provide ‘start to finish’ processes associated with remote sensing using ArcGIS Pro. While we will utilize Landsat imagery during this hands-on workshop, the skills learned are applicable for other sensor/data platforms (Sentinel, sUAS, VBMP, etc.). Previous knowledge of ArcGIS Desktop (or other GIS software) is desired. Previous experience using ArcGIS Pro is not required. Additional information about the workshop is available here:  https://frec.vt.edu/announcements/RSArcGISPro.html

Workshop Fee:  Due to partial sponsorship by Virginia View, the registration fee for the Williamsburg workshop has a discounted fee of $150. The registration fee for the Blacksburg workshop is $300. The registration fee includes instruction, handouts, resources, and breaks (Lunch is not included).
