Clark Labs is pleased to announce a new tutorial video series that will be hosted on its website. The first two tutorials are now available for viewing and several more are currently in development. This additional online learning resource complements the wide range of materials that are provided with the software.  

The goal of the video series is to provide quick-start references on a variety of the utilities and functionality within IDRISI, and in most cases, they will be between 5-10 minutes in length.  

Video # 1: Creating Projects and Setting the Environment

This tutorial provides a short introduction to the IDRISI software and shows how to define your environment settings and create your first project with the IDRISI Explorer utility. These steps are strongly recommended before utilizing the IDRISI software.

Video # 2: Introduction to Land Change Modeler

This tutorial provides an introduction to the Land Change Modeler application within IDRISI (also available as an extension for ArcGIS).  The Land Change Modeler allows you to analyze, measure, and project the impacts of land change on habitat and biodiversity.  This video explores some of the functionality of the Change Analysis tab, specifically tools for the rapid assessment of change, the evaluation of gains and losses, net change, persistence, and specific transitions both in map and graphical form.
