Hidden Temples, Urban Heat, and Wildfires: GeoAI on the Frontlines
November 9th | 11:30AM – 2:30PM | GIS Studio
From uncovering features hidden beneath dense landscapes to assessing hurricane damage, GeoAI is changing how we extract information from imagery and turn it into actionable insight. In this introductory, hands-on workshop, participants will explore practical GeoAI workflows using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.
Working through real-world examples, participants will use pre-trained deep learning models in ArcGIS Pro to identify and extract features from imagery, examine model results, and explore the process of improving those results. Along the way, we’ll look beyond simply running a model to understand the iterative GeoAI workflow, including evaluating outputs, identifying where a model struggles, and making improvements to produce more useful results.
No previous GeoAI or deep learning experience is required. The session is designed to provide an approachable introduction to how imagery, AI, and GIS come together to help solve challenging spatial problems.

Make and Share a Web Map with ArcGIS Online
Tuesday November 10th | 3:00pm-4:00pm | VIRTUAL
A map shows you where. A map story shows you why it matters. Scrolling narratives that move a reader from place to place have become a standard format for journalism, research communication, and community reporting — and they are within reach of anyone who can make a basic map.
This session starts with craft rather than software: what makes a map narrative land, how to structure one, and when a scrolling story beats a slideshow or a guided tour. We will look at three real examples, including one that does not work, and figure out why. Then you will build and publish a short story of your own in ArcGIS StoryMaps, the tool included with Temple’s ArcGIS license, ending with the parts people usually skip — embedding it and citing your sources properly.
Bring a topic and any data you have. If you took the ArcGIS Online session in October, you already have the account and can reuse a map you made there — but neither is required.
This workshop will be offered as an online session via Zoom. You must register for this workshop to receive the Zoom link via a confirmation email. On the day of the workshop, use the link to join the session.
