BackGeography and Resources Management (GRMG) students attended a GIS training workshop provided by the Esri China Hong Kong Limited, a major world-wide GIS software developer. The workshop provides the foundation for understanding what GIS is and its applications in spatial and geographical analysis using ArcGIS software. Students were taught on how to visualize geographic data, create maps, query a GIS database, perform spatial analysis using common analysis tools, and solve geographical problems using a systematic approach.
