QGIS has become the go to choice for anyone looking for a powerful, free, opensource mapping platform. Often compared to — and in many cases preferred over — ESRI ArcGIS, QGIS is approachable for beginners yet endlessly capable for advanced users. With just a few hours of practice, you can produce publication ready maps, and if you want to go deeper, you'll find a global community, extensive documentation, and a constantly growing library of plugins.
Any data with a geographic reference can be brought into QGIS: GPS tracks, spreadsheets, aerial photos, scanned maps, geotagged images, and much more. Whether you're analyzing your own datasets or working with publicly available information, QGIS gives you the tools to contour, visualize, graph, classify, and reimagine your data in almost any form you can think of — and chances are someone has already built a plugin or tutorial to help you do it.
QGIS is also widely used for advanced remote sensing workflows. LiDAR, multispectral and hyperspectral satellite imagery, and even machine learning based image analysis are all part of the everyday toolkit.
This course, taught by Richard Johnson via live Zoom sessions, meets you exactly where you are. Over six hours of interactive, hands on learning, you'll work with sample datasets or your own project material at a pace that suits you. Together, we can explore topics such as:
There's far more available in QGIS than we can cover in a single course, but together we'll focus on the tools and workflows that help you tell the story your maps are meant to tell.
