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 new 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.
Members of the group are encouraged to share their projects, ideas, and questions concerning the use of GIS or other mapping technologies through this group. We will also hold regular meetings to share our projects in person and to support each other to make the most out of the use of GIS technologies in our research projects.
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.

GIS Working Group 18 hours, 56 minutes agoI’m not sure if it will be recorded. I just looked at the event page on their website and see that they have a free membership that one can join in order to access their resources, so if they record it they will probably post it there.
