ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) system to manage, analyze, and display geographic information. ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online are both available to all UC Merced students, staff, and faculty with Single Sign-on. Complete instructions on how to sign up for ArcGIS Online and download ArcGIS Pro are available below. Please note that this software only runs on Windows operating systems.
GIS Center professional and technical staff members consult with graduate students, faculty members, community partners, and non-UC affiliates and work closely with clients (UC and non-UC) in determining estimated time and materials for projects.
A variety of workshops and training opportunities are available for the campus community.
An annual one-day spring Central Valley Geosummit conference brings together state and regional GIS experts, educators, graduate students, and faculty using GIS and geospatial technology in their research.
