QGIS 101
This is a hands-on introduction to geographic information systems (GIS), including basic concepts and terminology, data types, applications and desktop software. The workshop is designed to show attendees how GIS might be used in projects, theses and dissertations, and other research. We will use QGIS (free and open source software) and a class dataset, but the majority of skills taught are applicable to other types of geospatial data and software.
KU students, staff and faculty from any discipline are welcome to come. Please register if you would like to come, and attend the workshop if you register. This workshop may only be offered once a semester. Tell your friends, co-workers, and colleagues so we have enough attendees to make it go!
