Python and Geospatial Technology, Merge Lesson (Module 3 of 9)

This video lesson, provided by the GeoTech Center, is from the third module of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled Python and Geospatial Technology. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

In the video, Vince DiNoto, director of the GeoTech Center, provides an overview of the merge command in Python. Merge, derived from the arcpy module, a geospatial command library included with ArcGIS Pro, pushes similar boundaries together to form a larger region file. DiNoto guides viewers through an example script that employs this command to merge three counties into a unified regional geography.

The video runs 5:25 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
