On behalf of the Pacific GIS and Remote Sensing Council (PGRSC), we welcome you to Week 5 of our series to promote free GIS and remote sensing resources (webinars, instructional videos, technical manuals, e-books, etc.) to increase capacity, awareness, and skill development for the Pacific Islands geospatial community. Last week, we looked at advanced features of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Copernicus Programme’s Copernicus Browser. This week’s resource was sent in by GIS-PacNet community member Sarah Pitcher-Campbell, GIS Account Manager for Eagle Technology, and is a free massive open online course (MOOC) hosted by Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc (ESRI). Thank you Sarah and Eagle Technology for sharing this information.
Week 5: Are you interested in learning about the tools that are available from ESRI to process and visualise remote sensing data? ESRI is offering a free 6-week ArcGIS Imagery MOOC course starting on 22 October, 2025. Students will gain practical experience with ArcGIS capabilities to acquire, manage, and exploit imagery in powerful 2D and 3D visualisations and AI-enhanced analytical workflows.
Software access is provided. Familiarity with GIS and ArcGIS will be helpful but is not required. Please see the link below to register:
We hope that these materials are beneficial to you. Please let us know if you have a free GIS or remote sensing resource that you would like to promote as well so others can learn from them.
