Teresa L. Gregory, MS, Statistical Research, Inc.

Teresa Gregory received a BA in Cultural Anthropology/Archaeology from UC Santa Barbara in 1996, a BS in Molecular & Cellular Biology from U.Arizona in 2001, and a MS in GIST from U. Arizona in 2016. She worked as a field archaeologist in CRM for four years before moving into basic research and "molecular" archaeology. In 2015, she became the Administrator of the ASM/Archaeological Records Office and GIS Manage of AZSITE updating and improving the GIS platform for the archaeological community and incorporating her knowledge of Esri ArcGIS products, Python, SQL, GPS collection devices and many other facets of a well-rounded GIS professional. In 2017, Teresa moved to a private CRM firm, Statistical Research, and began assisting the Arizona Army National Guard/Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs modifying a suite of Esri-based tools, WebApps, and geodatabases in the Microsoft Azure Government Cloud to aide in project planning and mission readiness.
In this course, the instructor will introduce real world examples of GIS platforms and applications that benefit the study of cultural and natural resources. Attendees will learn about cutting-edge Esri GIS software (ArcGIS Pro, Enterprise, AGOL, Monitor, Survey123) for data collection and manipulation; Adobe Acrobat/Sign for reviewing and signing documents; Python (ArcPy) for coding and creating more efficient GIS tools; Microsoft Azure Government Cloud Server for data storage; and much more. These products can aide archaeologists in smaller, simple projects or multi-scalar larger projects. GIS can be enjoyable and helpful from start to finish for archaeological projects.
  1. Describe what ArcGIS Pro is and how to use it, as well as other useful software
  2. Explore how GIS can aide the study of cultural and natural resources
