ArcGIS Roads and Highways ( 4 cources -20 hours):
The ArcGIS Roads and Highways course introduces the fundamentals of managing road networks using this specialized ArcGIS extension. The training focuses on integrating data from multiple Linear Referencing Systems (LRS) to create a unified and comprehensive view of roadway networks. This integration enhances the management of road assets, accelerates incident response times, and improves the coordination of work resources.
Skills Gained:
Understanding Linear Referencing Systems (LRS) - Data Integration and Management - Efficient Resource Coordination - Road Asset Management - Enhanced Incident Response
ArcGIS Roads and Highways: Introduction to Modeling and Data Management in a Desktop Environment
ArcGIS Roads and Highways: Preparing and Sharing an LRS Using ArcGIS Enterprise
ArcGIS Roads and Highways: Editing an LRS
ArcGIS Roads and Highways: Managing Events in ArcGIS Pro (in progress)
This MOOC, focused on leveraging GIS technology to address the complex challenges posed by climate change, empowers learners to apply the geographic approach in developing sustainable solutions. Through a series of hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, participants explore how GIS can be used to analyze climate change indicators, assess risks, and create strategies for building resilient communities and infrastructure. The course emphasizes the importance of location-based insights in understanding and mitigating climate-related hazards.
Tools Used:
ArcGIS Pro - ArcGIS Online - ArcGIS Living Atlas - ArcGIS Instant Apps & Survey123 - ArcGIS Dashboards - ArcGIS StoryMaps
Skills Gained:
- Analyzing climate change indicators and assessing the risks of climate-related hazards.
- Planning adaptive strategies for vulnerable populations and infrastructure.
- Creating and customizing dashboards to visualize and monitor climate data in real-time.
- Communicating complex climate-related insights through engaging and interactive storytelling.
- Applying GIS tools to evaluate and propose mitigation strategies for greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental challenges.

The curriculum progresses from foundational concepts to advanced applications, culminating in an overview of GIS use across various sectors. This specialization prepares learners for GIS-related roles in fields such as agriculture, public health, urban planning, and environmental management.
9- Geo-spatial Applications for Disaster Risk Management course :
This course, is a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) offered by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Centre for Space Science and Technology Education for Asia and the Pacific.
The course is designed to enhance participants' capabilities in using geospatial and Earth observation technologies for disaster risk management. It consists of two tracks:
Track 1 (Basic Module): Suitable for non-experts, providing foundational knowledge on disaster risk reduction, remote sensing, and geospatial technologies.
Track 2 (Advanced Module): A more technical track focusing on developing skills in using Earth observation for assessing various disasters.
Skills gained from this course include:
Understanding of disaster risk management concepts and terminologies
Knowledge of geospatial technologies and Earth observation systems for disaster management
Familiarity with international frameworks and cooperation mechanisms related to space technologies in disaster management
Ability to use open datasets and tools for disaster risk management
Skills in applying Earth observation and geospatial intelligence to various types of disasters (e.g., floods, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, forest fires)
Knowledge of disaster mapping, monitoring, and modeling techniques
Understanding of post-disaster damage assessment using satellite imagery
Exposure to case studies and practical applications in different disaster scenarios
