As you might have already heard, after 20+ years of serving the GIS community ArcMap is finally retiring.The desktop role of the ArcGIS system is being replaced by ArcGIS Pro, which is more integrated with other ArcGIS solutions like ArcGIS Online, The Living Atlas, fieldwork and web applications.

Publishing your data and maps from desktop GIS to ArcGIS Online is essential to unlock modern GIS capabilities like collaboration or sharing your projects using interactive data-driven applications. The key to unlock this connected GIS is ArcGIS Identity.With an ArcGIS Identity you are unlocking a connected GIS. You can share your maps or selected map layers as a web layer. Web layers are stored in your organization's ArcGIS Online as one of the 7 different layer types of hosted layers. Depending on the layer type, the hosted layer will be shared with different capabilities.

ArcGIS Pro is Esri's main desktop GIS software and it is easy to enable student to install and use it on their personal laptops. All you have to do is:set students up with an Esri Identity in ArcGIS Onlinepoint student at the video explaining how to download ArcGIS ProStudent logs into ArcGIS Pro using their identityLets go through those steps in a bit more detail.

This dataset contains 50-ft contours for the Hot Springs shallowest unit of the Ouachita Mountains aquifer system potentiometric-surface map. The potentiometric-surface shows altitude at which the water level would have risen in tightly-cased wells and represents synoptic conditions during the summer of 2017. Contours were constructed from 59 water-level measurements measured in selected wells (locations in the well point dataset). Major streams and creeks were selected in the study area from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (U.S. Geological Survey, 2017), and the spring point dataset with 18 spring altitudes calculated from 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) data (U.S. Geological Survey, 2015; U.S. Geological Survey, 2016). After collecting, processing, and plotting the data, a potentiometric surface was generated using the interpolation method Topo to Raster in ArcMap 10.5 (Esri, 2017a). This tool is specifically designed for the creation of digital elevation models and imposes constraints that ensure a connected drainage structure and a correct representation of the surface from the provided contour data (Esri, 2017a). Once the raster surface was created, 50-ft contour interval were generated using Contour (Spatial Analyst), a spatial analyst tool (available through ArcGIS 3D Analyst toolbox) that creates a line-feature class of contours (isolines) from the raster surface (Esri, 2017b). The Topo to Raster and contouring done by ArcMap 10.5 is a rapid way to interpolate data, but computer programs do not account for hydrologic connections between groundwater and surface water. For this reason, some contours were manually adjusted based on topographical influence, a comparison with the potentiometric surface of Kresse and Hays (2009), and data-point water-level altitudes to more accurately represent the potentiometric surface.

In order to use the Romanian color standard for soil type map legends, a dataset of ESRI ArcMap-10 files, consisting of a shapefile set (.dbf, .shp, .shx, .sbn, and .sbx files), four different .lyr files, and three different .style files (https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/map/ : saving-layers-and-layer-packages, about-creating-new-symbols, what-are-symbols-and-styles-), have been prepared. The shapefile set is not a “real” georeferenced layer/coverage; it is designed only to handle all the instants of soil types from the standard legend.

This legend contains 67 standard items: 63 proper colors (different color hues, each of them having, generally, 2 - 4 degrees of lightness and/or chroma, four shades of grey, and white color), and four hatching patterns on white background. The “color difference DE*ab” between any two legend colors, calculated with the color perceptually-uniform model CIELAB, is greater than 10 units, thus ensuring acceptably-distinguishable colors in the legend. The 67 standard items are assigned to 60 main soils existing in Romania, four main nonsoils, and three special cases of unsurveyed land. The soils are specified in terms of the current Romanian system of soil taxonomy, SRTS-2012+, and of the international system WRB-2014.

The four different .lyr files presented here are: legend_soilcode_srts_wrb.lyr, legend_soilcode_wrb.lyr, legend_colorcode_srts_wrb.lyr, and legend_colorcode_wrb.lyr. The first two of them are built using as value field the “Soil_codes” field, and as labels (explanation texts) the “Soil_name” field (storing the soil types according to SRTS/WRB classification), respectively, the “WRB” field (the soil type according to WRB classification), while the last two .lyr files are built using as value field the “color_code” field (storing the color codes) and as labels the soil name in SRTS and WRB, respectively, in WRB classification.

In order to exemplify how the legend is displayed, two .jpg files are also presented: legend_soil_srts_wrb.jpg and legend_color_wrb.jpg. The first displays the legend (symbols and labels) according to the SRTS classification order, the second according to the WRB classification.

The three different .style files presented here are: soil_symbols.style, wrb_codes.style, and color_codes.style. They use as name the soil acronym in SRTS classification, soil acronym in WRB classification, and, respectively, the color code.

The presented file set may be used to directly implement the Romanian color standard in digital soil type map legends, or may be adjusted/modified to other specific requirements.

U.S. Rivers and Streams represents detailed rivers and streams in the United States. Due to the very large number of features in this dataset, it has a minimum draw scale of 1:400,000.To download the data for this layer as a layer package for use in ArcGIS desktop applications, refer to USA Detailed Rivers and Streams.

SBAS (Sediment Budget Analysis System) for ArcGIS Desktop provides a framework for formulating, documenting, and calculating sediment budgets, including estimation of uncertainty. This Windows application (ESRI ArcMap Toolbox) allows users to define a conceptual budget visually by creating a series of cells and arrows that represent sources, sinks, and flux rates. It then calculates quantitative "micro" (local) and "macro" (regional) sediment budgets, using a pre-defined sediment-budget equation.

A short guide to help you become familiar with ArcGIS Pro. It includes terminology and user interface cross-reference with ArcMap and other ArcGIS Desktop applications.

The Seabed Landform Classification Toolset is a GIS toolbox designed to classify seabed landforms on continental and island shelf settings. The user is guided through a series of classification steps within an ArcGIS toolbox to classify prominent seabed features termed ‘seabed landforms’, which characterise the morphology of the seabed surface. Seabed landforms include reefs/banks, peaks, plains, scarps, channels and depressions. Plain areas can additionally be classified into high and low features at localised and broad scales to capture features within plain surfaces. Common variables for seabed classification are utilised, including slope, bathymetric position index and ruggedness, and a series of procedures are applied to identify reef outcrops and minimise noise. The classification approach applies a whole-seascape classification which is aimed to offer a flexible and user-friendly approach to extract key seabed features from high-resolution shelf bathymetry data.

This toolset was developed using ESRI ArcGIS Desktop 10.8 and requires an Advanced licence with Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst and extensions. It utilises scripts within the Benthic Terrain Modeler toolset (Walbridge et al. 2018) and Geomorphometry and Gradients Metrics Toolbox (Evans et al., 2014).

Please read the User Guide and supporting documentation for information on how to run the toolset. A web explainer is available at: https://arcg.is/1Tqmv50

The Seabed Landform Classification Toolset is also available for download on GitHub (https://github.com/LinklaterM/Seabed-Landforms-Classification-Toolset/).

The toolset was developed by the Coastal and Marine Team, NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (formerly NSW Department of Planning and Environment), funded by NSW Climate Change Fund through the Coastal Management Funding Package and the Marine Estate Management Authority.

The way to access Layers Quickly.

Quick Layers is an Add-In for ArcMap 10.6+ that allows rapid access to the DNR's Geospatial Data Resource Site (GDRS). The GDRS is a data structure that serves core geospatial dataset and applications for not only DNR, but many state agencies, and supports the Minnesota Geospatial Commons. Data added from Quick Layers is pre-symbolized, helping to standardize visualization and map production. Current version: 1.164

To use Quick Layers with the GDRS, there's no need to download QuickLayers from this location. Instead, download a full copy or a custom subset of the public GDRS (including Quick Layers) using GDRS Manager.

Quick Layers also allows users to save and share their own pre-symbolized layers, thus increasing efficiency and consistency across the enterprise.

Installation:

After using GDRS Manager to create a GDRS, including Quick Layers, add the path to the Quick Layers addin to the list of shared folders:
1. Open ArcMap
2. Customize -> Add-In Manager… -> Options
3. Click add folder, and enter the location of the Quick Layers app. For example, if your GDRS is mapped to the V drive, the path would be V:\gdrs\apps\pub\us_mn_state_dnr\quick_layers
4. After you do this, the Quick Layers toolbar will be available. To add it, go to Customize -> Toolbars and select DNR Quick Layers 10

The link below is only for those who are using Quick Layers without a GDRS. To get the most functionality out of Quick Layers, don't install it separately, but instead download it as part of a GDRS build using GDRS Manager.

World Regions represents the boundaries for 25 commonly recognized world regions. This layer is best viewed out beyond a maximum scale (zoomed in) of 1:3,000,000.
