Mapping with QGIS

Overview

Picture
QGIS is the leading open source desktop GIS applications. These workshops provide an introduction to working with geographic data and opportunity to learn how to use this freely available software. This course is co-taught through a partnership with the UGA Map and Government Information Library. Currently, we offer two sessions:

Session 1: Getting started with GIS
  • Working with geographic data: vector and raster
  • Using visual variables to map data values
  • Creating print maps
​
Session 2: Basic data manipulation
  • Working with map projections
  • Joining spreadsheets to geographic data
  • Using spatial functions (e.g., clip, select by location, buffer)
