3 Constructing Hillshade and Elevation Colorized Hillshade Maps in ArcGIS Pro

Welcome to this OpenTopography video tutorial playlist on how to use ArcGIS Pro software for geologic mapping! If you would like to download the SP_Mountain dataset and follow along with me you can access the files at this link:

Hello. Thank you so much for the tutorials. I have a question, for hydrological processes should we use the raster with bilinear or nearest neighbor interpolation?

[@OpenTopography]

Hydrological calculations will use different methods depending on what process is being modelled. ArcPro has many built-in hydrology toolboxes! Nearest neighbor is not recommended for projecting elevation data, because it often results in blocky or blurry artifacts. Projecting the DEM using bilinear interpolation to new PCS, as shown in the video, will not effect future hydrologic calculations from the DEM (ex. calculating stream flow accumulation/direction, or watersheds). Hope this answers your question! _Daniel
