SDMtoolbox 2.0 is a software package for spatial studies of ecology, evolution, and genetics. The release of SDMtoolbox 2.0 allows researchers to use the most current ArcGIS software and MaxEnt software, and reduces the amount of time that would be spent developing common solutions. The central aim of this software is to automate complicated and repetitive spatial analyses in an intuitive graph...

Introduction According to the National Research Council (2010), a significant challenge in the GISciences is the creation and development of tools that enable the results of scientific modeling to be easily understood. For science-informed decision making as well as for the purposes of informing and engaging ordinary citizens in discussions regarding geographical technologies, the National Rese...

Geocoding is increasingly being used for public health surveillance and spatial epidemiology studies. Public health departments in the United States of America (USA) often use this approach to investigate disease outbreaks and clusters or assign health records to appropriate geographic units. We evaluated two commonly used geocoding software packages, ArcGIS and MapMarker, for automated geocodi...

Deep learning classification of invasive species using widely-used ArcGIS Pro software and increasingly common drone imagery can aid in identification management natural areas. A step-by-step implementation, with associated data for users to access, is presented make this technology more widely accessible GIS analysts, researchers, graduate students working remotely sensed the resource field.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of free and open source (FOSS) geographic information system (GIS) software within the broader contexts of the open source software movement and developments in GIS, and pose the question of whether libraries and academic departments should consider adopting FOSS GIS. Design/methodology/approach – The process of creating a basic them...

Goals: to describe the STARS ArcGIS geoprocessing toolset, which is used to calculate the spatial information needed to fit spatial statistical models to stream network data using the SSN package. The STARS toolset is designed for use with a Landscape Network (LSN), which is a topological data model produced by the FLoWS ArcGIS geoprocessing toolset. An overview of the FLoWS LSN structure and a...
