Kevin has been a Product Engineer on the Spatial Analyst development team for over 29 years. He has degrees in Landscape Architect from Harvard and in environmental modeling from Yale. At Esri, Kevin’s current focus is developing suitability and connectivity tools. He hopes the tools that he works on can help users make more informed decisions.
Connecting locations with optimal paths, optimal networks, or corridors over an accumulative-cost surface.
Calculating the rate the adjusted distance is encountered.
Calculating the shortest physical distance between locations adjusting for barriers and the undulating surface.
Demystifying the complexity of distance analysis
Use the new dynamic Suitability Modeler to create better models from continuous feedback through interactive maps, plots, and panes.
The SA team shows you how to use Path Distance with wind direction data
Optimize wildlife conservation by identifying ideal habitats and connecting them with a least-cost path.
Con is one of the most used and powerful tools in Spatial Analyst. Let’s go through a scenario to better understand how the tool works.
