QGIS: An Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Learn geographic information systems through QGIS, with applications for biology, environmental sciences and other disciplines requiring spatial analysis. Guided demonstrations and exercises cover coordinate systems, vector and raster data, layer management and symbology. Participants perform spatial queries, clipping, intersections, buffers and area calculations, then use raster calculations and extract values for vector features. The course develops cartographic layout and export skills through a thematic map assembled progressively into a final project.
