Arctic Sea Ice Mapping in ArcGIS Pro: Advanced Cartography & Visualization

In this step-by-step cartography tutorial, you’ll learn how to map Arctic sea ice extent from 1978 to 2020 in ArcGIS Pro. From selecting the proper equal-area projection and exploring time-series data to charting September minimums, this guide walks through the complete cartographic workflow. You’ll use the Count Overlapping Features tool to calculate ice persistence, apply an unclassed white-to-blue gradient to illustrate seasonal retreat, and establish a clear visual hierarchy by styling baseline layers—countries, the Arctic Circle, ocean, and graticule with custom blend modes. Perfect for GIS analysts and mapmakers looking to elevate their thematic cartography and visual storytelling. ========================== https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zd8p... ================================ 00:00 Introduction 01:22 Start a project 02:48 Data Exploration 06:49 Definition Query 07:58 Symbology 08:50 Count Overlapping feature 13:16 symbolizing basemap ============================== 🎵 Music Credits: “Modern Glitch Logo Intro” by YourTunes Source: Pixabay https://pixabay.com/music/search/318516/
