Description:
In this online one day course (taught over two mornings) you will learn about advanced spatial analysis techniques using QGIS. You will gain proficiency in complex GIS operations, such as spatial overlays and point-based access analysis, equipping them with the skills to leverage spatial data for insightful research outcomes. You will also learn how to work with a variety of different data sources and types and using spatial overlays, point in polygon analysis and spatial joins.
The course covers:
How to work with different data sources
Using attribute and spatial joins
Using spatial overlays and spatial analysis
How to apply these skills to your own data
By the end of the course participants will:
- Understand how to import a range of data types into QGIS
- Be able to locate and open a range of GIS data sets
- Know how to apply GIS analysis tools including spatial overlays and point in polygon.
- Be confident at applying the skills to their own data
This course is ideal for anyone who wishes to use spatial data in their role. This includes students, academic, government & other public sector researchers who have data with some spatial information (e.g. address, postcode, etc.) which they wish to show on a map. This course is also suitable for those who wish to have an overview of what GIS and spatial data can be used for, and how you can better represent your data with maps.
This is an Advanced course. Participants can either complete the introductory course (Introduction to QGIS), which requires no prior knowledge, or attend this advanced course if they already have experience with QGIS and spatial data. Contact Dr. Nick Bearman if you need clarification about whether your existing knowledge is sufficient for this course.
THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT OVER TWO MORNINGS (10:00-13:00) AND EQUATES TO ONE TEACHING DAY FOR PAYMENT PURPOSES.
