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!

  • Introductory GIS Workshop Using QGIS May 3rd 2019

    Posted by Frank Donnelly on April 16, 2019 at 8:34 am

    Hello everyone,

    I’m running one of my day-long introductory workshops in GIS using QGIS on Friday May 3rd. The sessions are held at the GIS Lab at Baruch College and are open to all current CUNY graduate students, faculty, and staff, and to Baruch undergrads. Advance registration is required and participants must bring their own laptop with QGIS 3.4 pre-installed. More information and the link to register is here:

    http://guides.newman.baruch.cuny.edu/gis/gisprac

    I’m still in the process of updating my workbook and other materials, so the stuff on the website is not up to date yet (i.e. still based on QGIS 2.18). This might be the last time I run this workshop, so if you’re interested and available check it out. There are a limited number of seats remaining.

    Best – Frank

      PLEASE NOTE – The workshop is now full and registration is closed. Given the limited amount of space and seats I can’t overbook the session.
