This workshop introduces the fundamentals of computer-based mapping using QGIS, an open-source mapping platform popular in both academia and the commercial world. Topics will include basic mapping skills such as uploading existing spatial datasets (shape files) to a project, editing shapefiles, adding a vector layer, and joining layers to discover new spatial information. By participating in this workshop, you will be able to create a simple map and use QGIS to analyze spatial information. No previous mapping experience is required. Participants must bring their own computer with QGIS installed.<\/p>\n
Please install QGIS before attending http:\/\/www.qgis.org\/en\/site\/forusers\/download.html. If you need help with the installation, please contact Michelle McSweeney at m.mcsweeney@columbia.edu<\/p>\n
