Esri has developed the R-ArcGIS Bridge to support data transfer and analysis between ArcGIS Pro and R. Based on a Rice University workshop, this session uses ArcGIS Pro and R-Studio to analyze gun-related arrests in Philadelphia in 2021. Users will learn how to connect R to ArcGIS Pro, and how to install the arcgisbinding package. Data in ArcGIS Pro will be ported into R-Studio, where a statistical analysis will be performed. The results will be ported back into ArcGIS Pro for further analysis. Students will use ArcGIS Pro, R-Studio and R installed on the classroom’s Windows computers. This event is part of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) workshops series.

Everyone at Princeton can use ArcGIS Online (AGOL), software as a service available at https://pumagic.maps.arcgis.com. Esri hosts this site to allow users to post data, web maps, web applications and Story Maps on-line. The AGOL Map Viewer now supports many geospatial analyses, so research can be done directly in a browser. Students will use browsers on the classroom’s Windows computers to learn how to use these capabilities.
