介绍duction to QGIS: Open-Source GIS for Any一个
日期/时间: November 13th 10:00 to 13:00
地点: 在线
教练: 凯瑟琳•泰勒
This workshop is sponsored by the generous funding from the Public Interest Technology University Network grant to provide support for educational activities focused on equitable access to technologies.
Katie recently graduated with her master’s in geography from the University of Colorado 博尔德. She spent the past two years of her master’s degree teaching GIS courses and conducting her own research using GIS to model bus networks and identify high priority areas for service adjustments. She now works for Upstream Tech on their Lens software which makes remote sensing more streamlined and accessible for more efficient conservation monitoring. Outside of all things GIS, Katie enjoys cooking, biking, 和阅读.
Workshop description:
This course serves as an introduction to QGIS, the free and open source GIS software. Whether you are looking to switch from ArcGIS or you are newer to GIS, this course will serve as an introduction to the QGIS user interface and will guide you through two introductory projects involving working with both vector and raster data, basic geoprocessing, creating a map layout, and web mapping with QGIS. In the first project you will create a choropleth map using census data. With this map, we will practice making both a traditional static map layout as well as exporting it to a web map. In the second project, you will work with raster and 矢量数据 to identify high priority areas for erosion control. Using geoprocessing you will identify areas in Stanislaus 国家森林 that have recently had a wildfire, are on a steep slope, and are near water.
Learning outcomes:
After completing this workshop you will be able to:
- Load data into QGIS. You will work with and load both vector and raster data into QGIS.
- Create a basic map layout in QGIS. You will create both a static map as well as a 基本网页地图.
- Perform basic spatial analysis in QGIS. You will be exposed to the QGIS Toolbox and will learn how to use some geoprocessing tools including Buffer and Raster Calculator.
Workshop outline
- 介绍duction to QGIS interface
- Project 1: Census Choropleth Mapping, working with 矢量数据
- Load in data - census tracts
- Symbolize data - choropleth map
- Create map layout - add legend, title etc.
- Export to web map - using QGIS2web plugin or just WMS like terrestris?
- Project 2: Natural resource management, working with raster & 矢量数据
- Identify high priority areas for erosion control (places that have recently had a wildfire, are on a steep slope, and near water); this will likely be d一个 for Stanislaus 国家森林
- Load in data (DEM, lakes and streams, wildfire perimeters)
- 分析
- Create buffer around water features
- Intersect water buffer with wildfire perimeters
- Create slope from dem, reclassify to 0 for relatively flat areas and 1 for steep areas
- Convert water/wildfire intersect to raster, do raster multiplication to find high priority areas for erosion control
- Questions (~15 minutes)
- Also provide links to additional resources
Workshop Prerequisites
- 下载QGIS on your computer.
- Basic familiarity with cartographic principles and GIS helpful but not required.
