ArcGIS Tutorial: Master Geoprocessing Tools - Dissolve, Buffer, Clip

Welcome to our comprehensive ArcGIS tutorial where you'll master essential geoprocessing tools: Dissolve is removing a solute in a solution, Buffer is the solution that resists change in its pH and Clip means to cut off as in cutting off the tip of the straw. Whether you are a novice or a GIS expert, this tutorial can build on and/or optimize your knowledge and skills in the application of these tools. Our specialist will help the audience master the essential things and explain how to apply them in practice. This way, you’ll be able to scale your geographical data, establish contextual transitions as well as optimize your data sets for further analytics.

In this tutorial, getting right down to the brass tacks, we will begin by describing what each tool is and what can be done with it. Next, it is time for some show and tell, where the audience learns how to plug Dissolve in to combine attributes, Buffer to generate areas around points, lines, or polygons, and Clip to obtain subsets of the desired region. At the end of this session, the learners will have gained self-confidence and the ability to apply the tools covered during the geoprocessing thereby improving the GIS projects and planning. Let’s take this journey together to being an ArcGIS pro!
