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!

Geoprocessing Tools in QGIS Workshoo – Feb 10th 5-6pm

  • Posted by Rilquer Mascarenhas (he/him/his) on February 2, 2023 at 2:52 pm

    Hi everyone,

    Next Friday, Feb 10 5-6pm, we will be having our second workshop of the Spring semester, also a mapping workshop. We will go over a few geoprocessing tools in QGIS. Here is a brief description of the workshop and link to register:

    Title: Setting your spatial stage: geoprocessing tools with QGIS

    Description: This workshop is intended to build up on an initial knowledge on the software QGIS. We will cover how to perform operations with vector and raster files within the QGIS environment. Operations with vector will consist of clipping, masking, intersecting, merging and buffering points, lines and polygons, in order to extract additional information from the spatial data one has in hands. Operations with raster will include steps to extract numerical data from raster, and to perform mathematical operations amonger rasters, creating new spatial objects as a result. These skills are valuable for statistical analyses of spatial data, and can be used to answer specific questions in both social and natural sciences. This workshop will assume basic knowledge of the interface in the software QGIS (i.e., how to load and visualize vector and raster data in this software).
