The session will also cover other open-source GIS options and resources. Participants must bring their own laptop with QGIS installed and have a basic understanding of GIS.

Open-Source GIS

Why learn open source?

Cost!

Consider the trade-off between cost, support needs, and time to master new tools

What's QGIS?

QGIS is a free and open-source software that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systemst. It used for viewing, editing, and managing spatial data in a wide variety of commonly used vector and raster formats. In order to complete the exercise part of this workshop, you will need to download the software and install it on your personal computer.

Outcomes:

  • Introduction to QGIS

  • Adding spatial data (vector and raster)

  • Plugins

  • Querying data and viewing attributes

  • Exploratory analysis of movement data

  • Creating maps

  • Other open-source options
