Landscape science: a Russian geographical tradition

The Russian geographical tradition of landscape science (landshaftovedenie) is analyzed with particular reference to its initiator, Lev Semenovich Berg (1876-1950). The differences between prevailing Russian and Western concepts of landscape in geography are discussed, and their common origins in German geographical thought in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are delineated. It is argued that the principal differences are accounted for by a number of factors, of which Russia's own distinctive tradition in environmental science deriving from the work of V. V. Dokuchaev (1846-1903), the activities of certain key individuals (such as Berg and C. O. Sauer), and the very different social and political circumstances in different parts of the world appear to be the most significant. At the same time it is noted that neither in Russia nor in the West have geographers succeeded in specifying an agreed and unproblematic understanding of landscape, or more broadly in promoting a common geographical conception of human-environment relationships. In light of such uncertainties, the latter part of the article argues for closer international links between the variant landscape traditions in geography as an important contribution to the quest for sustainability

People Mapping: Finding and Using Demographic Data

This video workshop, from the 2021 Esri Education Summit, teaches participants about finding and using demographic data for more than 130 countries. In the video, Joseph Kerski outlines the demographic and socio-economic variables that are available through the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, explores the differences between U.S. Census data and Esri demographics, discusses geoliteracy, and covers other tips and steps for using demographic data with Esri tools and resources. Workshop goals include the following: find spacial and attribute data for populations and demographics; use population data in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and other Esri tools; learn about the kinds of investigations that users can foster with these tools and data sets; and learn about lessons and resources to learn more.The video recording runs 47:41 minutes in length. Additional videos from the summit are available to view separately

Map Smarter: Get Started With the New Map Viewer

This video, from the 2021 Esri Education Summit, highlights the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, which is part of the ArcGIS platform. Background information on the application, information on how to use it, a demo, information on transitioning from Map Viewer Classic, GIS resources, and more are provided. Features include sketching, charts, blending, and more. The video recording runs 45:02 minutes in length. Additional videos from the summit are available to view separately
