Spatial Coordinate Systems

Where are you?

This Kurzgesagt video discusses scales and reference frames. It can help give some context to why we need map projections.

What does the earth look like?

This Vsauce video discusses map projections. The whole video is interesting, but the content on projections starts around 3:30.

Steps of Abstraction

This video covers the steps of Abstraction - How we go from the 3d Earth to a 2d map.

Map Projections

This video discusses some of the key aspects of map projections.

Analysis Methods

Queries

Select by Attributes

Selecting by attribute is something we’ve done a number of times in class so far. This video gives a more well rounded overview how how to conduct and structure queries.

Select by Location

This video covers select by location.

Buffering

This video gives an overview of buffering.

Vector Overlay Methods

This video covers a few of the vector overlay methods I introduced in Module 5.

Raster Analysis

This video covers some raster overlay methods and gives a very simple overview of how you can use the raster calculator for suitability analysis.
