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!

    Hi All,

    Our colleagues at Columbia are holding this important event next week:

    Columbia’s Group for Experimental Methods in the Humanities & Columbia University Libraries ask you to join us for:

    PUERTO RICO MAPATHON
    for Hurricane Relief

    September 29, 2017 | 2PM-5PM | Studio@Butler (208B)

    Come help with relief efforts on the ground in Puerto Rico by contributing your time to open-source mapping.

    Following the recent hurricane, people around the world are using the OpenStreetMap platform to give their time to hurricane relief efforts. The Red Cross in Puerto Rico has requested two tasks we can help with for their relief efforts. During the mapathon, we will teach people how to help with these efforts through mapping, and we will map together.

    No mapping experience necessary. No knowledge of local terrain is necessary. Come any time during the afternoon.

    Please bring your laptop & RSVP to agil@columbia.edu (especially if you’re coming from outside Columbia)
