Sustainability challenges often require analysis and knowledge of spatial data like land-use or patterns and networks of infrastructure. GIS tools offer both mapping and data analysis options and are widely used in science and application. In this course, you will get to know QGIS, an open software used in both in science and the private sector. The seminar adresses the theoretical background of GIS and spatial data as well as its practical application in the software. Following topics will covered:
-Coordinate systems, projections and basics of cartography
-Geoprocessing with vector data
-Digitizing and Georeferencing of historical maps/ aerial photos
- Recording and loading geographic coordinates
- Creating map layouts and printouts
After this course you should be able to have an idea on data that can be used for GIS, be able to create or alter a map and have knowledge on basic analytical tools.
Please bring a laptop if available.
