QGIS: a 2½ day course for ecologists & biological recorders

Wednesday, August 26, 2015 to Friday, August 28, 2015
We explore, in some depth, options for obtaining and displaying basemap data (e.g. Ordnance Survey basemaps and Google & Bing aerial imagery), accessing other free value-added data, e.g. via web services, capturing spatial data including that generate by GPS smart-phone apps or hand-held GPS, registering and manipulating raster data, and producing maps for reports or for display on the web. We will also explore the advanced use of the FSC Tom.bio Productivity Tools plugin for QGIS and introduce various methods of data synthesis, display and analysis.
