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!

Workshop: “Mapping Tweets in QGIS”

  • Posted by Olivia Ildefonso (she/her) on February 6, 2019 at 4:15 pm

    Hi everyone,

    I’ll be giving a workshop next Wednesday on how to map tweets from Twitter.

    Here are the details:

    Workshop: “Mapping Tweets in QGIS” 

    Wednesday, February 13th, 6:30-8:30pm, Room 9206

    Analyzing both the spatial and social content of social media feeds is referred to as geosocial analysis. This workshop will start off with a discussion about the types of questions that can be answered with a geosocial analysis. We will also explore some of the current limitations. We will then extract geosocial data from Twitter and visualize it as a map in QGIS.

    Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the workshop. Look forward to seeing you there!

    Best,

    Olivia
