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!

Mapping User Group Meetings – Fall 2022

  • Posted by Rilquer Mascarenhas (he/him/his) on September 27, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    Hi, everyone.

     

    The Mapping User Group will resume our biweekly meetings by next week. Our first meeting will be on Thursday Oct 6th, from 4-5pm. Here is the link for our sign-up form: https://forms.gle/Q1rcXrDqpnEbEBPy5

     

    We would appreciate if everyone could sign up on that list, so we can keep track of how many people are expected to be present in the meetings for each data, and their respective programs.Additionally, you can let us know through this form if there is any specific dataset you would like to be working on in some of the meetings (either your own data you would need help with or a third party data you think would be interesting to create a map for). We have our tentative schedule for this semester below, with some topics lined up for each meeting, but these are totally open to change based on the demand of every person attending the meetings.

     

    Oct 6th – Introductions and discussions on the scientific and social use of maps

    Oct 20th – What do we need for mapping? Preparing your data

    Nov 3rd – Discussion on softwares

    Nov 17th – Hands-on with QGIS I

    Dec 1st – Hands-on with QGIS II

    Dec 15th – Okay, you made a map. What next?

     

    Hope to see you there!
