Hello all!
Like Olivia, I will also be having office hours to help anyone with their
GIS projects, issues or questions (other non-GIS digital tool questions
also welcome), every other Tuesday, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM (next one will be on
the 17).
And, this semester I will also offer a GIS-related workshop, thinking of a
more advanced audience (could it be *you*?). The workshop is called “How to
change the spatial boundaries of your data using QGIS
(https://gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/event/how-to-change-the-spatial-boundaries-of-your-data-using-qgis/)”
and will (hopefully) guide participants through implementing a Maantay,
Maroko and Herrmann-inspired Cadastral-Based Expert Dasymetric System
(CEDS) to estimate Census and/or American Community Survey Data in custom
spatial boundaries. It will be on Wednesday March 18, at 6:30 PM. If you’re
interested, sign up following the link above.
Additionally, we are intending to have a GIS Working Group Meeting this
Semester. Date and time still TBD.
So, to recap, here’s what we’re offering you this Semester:
*Office hours:*
Every other Tuesday 12:30 – 1:30 PM (starting on 02/17) with Javier, or
every other Wednesday 10:30 – 11:30 AM (starting on 02/05) with Olivia
(When in doubt, check the GCDI Calendar
(https://gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/))
*Workshops:*
“How to change the spatial boundaries of your data using QGIS
(https://gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/event/how-to-change-the-spatial-boundaries-of-your-data-using-qgis/)”,
on March 18, 6:30 – 8:30 PM
“How Not to Lie with Maps
(https://gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/event/how-to-not-lie-with-maps/)”, on
March 25, 6:30 – 8:30 PM
*GIS Working Group Meeting:*
Date and time TBD.
If any of you is also offering GIS-related resources, workshops or support
this Semester, feel free to share them as a follow-up to this e-mail.
Best,
Javier
