Vector Analysis in GIS ArcGIS 10 has a powerful set of software tools to visually explore and analyze spatial information. Vector GIS data includes point, line and polygon features, which can be selected by proximity or by attributes features have in common. Intended for students who have taken the previous class or have explored GIS software casually, this class will provide hands-on examples of the most common vector analytical tasks in GIS. E-Classroom, 225 Lewis Science Library · 1:30 p.m.– 3:00 p.m.
Working with Data Tables and U.S. Census data in ArcGIS ArcGIS 10 has many different ways to access data sets, display them in a map, and analyze relationships over time and space. US Census data can be integrated with GIS boundary files to analyze the spatial relationships of poverty, ethnicity, environmental risk, and other parameters. Hands-on examples will show how to find and download demographic data, how to combine the data with GIS files, and how to view the data in ArcMap. The class will work with historic US demographic data and explore the use of tables in ArcGIS. The session will assist any GIS user who wants to include tabular data in a spatial analysis. E-Classroom, 225 Lewis Science Library · 1:30 p.m.– 3:00 p.m.
Introduction to QGIS Quantum GIS (QGIS) is an open-source GIS desktop software package. It has many features found in other desktop GIS software, runs on Linux/Unix, MacOS and Windows operating systems, and is available at no cost. Intended for anyone new to GIS technology, this training uses QGIS 1.8.0 on Windows to show how to load geospatial data, add on-line map services, extract selected data, and make simple maps. The training may also be useful to users of other desktop GIS software. E-Classroom, 225 Lewis Science Library · 1:30 p.m.– 3:00 p.m.
