About: Learn all about different types of data collection while in the field! Anywhere you go, you can be a sensor and collect all sorts of useful geographic data. Learn about user activity logging using Fulcrum, replace paper forms with KOBO Toolbox, explore maps and data using QField, and learn to use compasses, rangefinders, and more. An app adventure is calling! Continue reading #maptimeDavis – Field Data Collection →

Location:
360 Shields Library
(DSI Classroom)
Cost: Totally FREE!
Prerequisite:
Install QGIS (3.x)
Presenters: Nick Santos

About: In this workshop, we’ll practice field calculations – inserting values into vector data attribute tables – as a way to learn Python for GIS. You’ll leave knowing enough of Python to put it into use after the workshop, know where to go to learn more, and apply it more broadly in GIS.
