ArcGIS Spatial Analyst

• Analyze terrains

  Derive useful insights from your data. Create a hillshade to use as a backdrop of the terrain to support other data layers. Calculate slope, aspect, and contours, or create a map displaying visibility
• Select best locations

  Find the ideal location with features that match your requirements. Consider criteria such as suitable demographics, environment and terrain to find the best site
• Find best routes

  Find the straight-line distance between two locations or create cost-weighted distance surfaces to understand the cost of getting from one location to another based on the criteria you specify
• Perform hydrologic analysis

  Derive insights from hydrologic and landscape data. Model where water will flow, create watersheds and stream networks and discover other hydrologic characteristics
• Gain statistical insights

  Analyze data distribution for a period. Calculate the mean crop yield over ten years, study variety of species contained within each neighborhood, or find the mean elevation per forest zone
• Manage risk

  Model risk factors such as ground slope, aspect, stability, forest fuel load and coastline inundation to understand the risk over your study area so you can come up with the appropriate mitigation plan
• Estimate cost

  Depending on your industry, factors such as terrain, waiting time, or any other physical obstacles can add to your cost. Analyze and predict costs taking into account multiple factors
• Detect patterns

  Analyze data from the past to uncover patterns. Combine location of crime with societal factors to visualize patterns that help law enforcement and city planners to take appropriate measures
