GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    Hello everyone!

    Welcome back from the Summer, and welcome all new students and new members
    to the GIS / mapping working group. I’m happy to say we’ve reached 40
    members in the group! We hope that you find in this group an opportunity to
    learn & share about GIS news, tips, tools, events, or even to discuss about
    your projects and get new perspectives.

    Taking the opportunity of the upcoming GIS day (https://www.gisday.com)
    (thanks Olivia for sharing the info), I was thinking perhaps it would be a
    good idea to register an event for GIS day, and organize a meet-up to
    share with the broader community the real-life GIS projects we are working
    on, or even the project ideas we have.

    Would this be something of interest to you? GIS day is on Wednesday
    November 14.

    Looking forward to reading your thoughts, and if you’d be willing/available
    to talk about your GIS project. or project ideas.

    Best,

    Javier

      I think this is a great idea and would love to attend an event like this at The GC!

      Something to keep in mind: GISMO is hosting a GIS Jobs Fair at Hunter College that day, Weds Nov 14th from 1pm to 5pm: http://www.gismonyc.org/events/upcoming/

      Thanks Damaly and Frank for your comments!

      Javier and I decided to move ahead with planning the GIS day at the GC on the 14th. We’re going to have it after the jobs fair at Hunter, so it won’t conflict at all. Its going to be from 5-7. The first hour will be short presentations from students and faculty and the next hour will be an open discussion for those who want to bounce some of their ideas off of others in the GIS community.  Please let us know if you would like to present your research or if you know others who would like to present. We’ll share the official description that you can forward to your networks in the next few days.
