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!

GIS Day @ the GC: Project share and mingle

  • Posted by Javier Otero Peña on November 7, 2019 at 10:07 pm

    Hello all! we wanted to invite you all to participate in the GIS Day event we’re organizing next week. We intend it to serve as a sort of “after party” for GIS Day at CUNY. It is an ideal opportunity to get together, build our GC mapping community and briefly present our GIS projects to each other, following last year’s successful event.

    We’ll have snacks, drinks, and we will also be giving away a limited number of “ArcGIS for Personal Use” codes to fellow participants who need them! Sign up to present here. All presentations welcome, regardless of your level of expertise, topic, or platform.

    Looking forward to seeing you all there!

    Best,

    Javier & Olivia
