These lessons from Spring of 2021 will then be integrated into joint online and in-person workshops for future students and the general public to learn techniques on how to integrate ArcGIS Maps into Adobe Creative Cloud (an extension of ArcGIS and Adobe Illustrator) to create maps, in particular, field trip journeys using raster and vector data with storyboards. The collaboration between the two using the integrated tool between ESRI and ADOBE will result in more powerful, more informative, and more accessible data-driven stories on our earth systems (earth-hazards, climate change, natural resources, earth history, and anthropogenic changes).
