3 GIS Teaching Resources

Joseph J. Kerski, Ph.D., Education Manager with ESRI, shares the following three resources:

1. Global Climate Change 

 

2. Locations of US nuclear plants available on ArcGIS Online

Dr. Kerski advises "...add a faults and geology layer or a cities layer. Zoom in on a few of them and change the base map to a satellite image.  What do they look like up close? What do they have in common? What are the differences?"

3. World Bank eAtlas of Global Development

Dr. Kerski suggests going into the atlas and creating maps, time series graphs, etc. on 179 indicators covering themes such as poverty, education, economy, and environment. There is also a new printed Atlas of Global Development for sale by www.worldbank.org/publications.
