GIS Spatial Analyzer Skill

Purpose

The GIS Spatial Analyzer Skill performs spatial analysis including watershed delineation, floodplain mapping, buffer analysis, and land use classification.

Capabilities

• Watershed delineation
• Floodplain mapping
• Buffer analysis
• Slope analysis
• Land use classification
• Right-of-way analysis
• Viewshed analysis
• Proximity analysis

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

• Analyzing site constraints
• Delineating watersheds
