The starting point for this course will be the completion of a catchment delineation analysis. Here you'll learn how to take the final data and make a beautiful map showcasing the results. First you’ll learn some symbology tricks. Then you will then learn the basics of setting up a print composition with standard map elements such as a scale bar, north arrow, legend and locator map. By the end of the course you will have produced an attractive map of the catchment in QGIS and learned some tricks along the way.

• Styling DEMs, rivers, catchments and landmarks

• Adding Labels

• Focusing attention on the catchment

• Setting up a basic print layout

• Adding standard map elements

• Using Expressions to enhance the layout

• Adding a locator map

• Exporting the final product

There are two new options for field data collection related to QGIS named Input/Mergin and QField, and both will be introduced in this webinar. Each app runs on both iOS and Android. Since they are free to use, offer great functionality, and can be used on any platform, they are the recommended field data collection apps for Community Health Mappers. Due to time constraints, this webinar will focus on Input. You will see how to set up a typical data collection form using QGIS. You will also learn to use the Mergin plugin to move data back and forth between a computer and a mobile device. Sample data will be collected and, Mergin will again be used to bring the data into QGIS where we’ll map it. This webinar will be recorded and made available via YouTube.

This one hour webinar teaches how to map the COVID-19 pandemic using free data and open source software. The presentation begins with an introduction to Community Health Maps, a program to empower underserved populations with free mapping tools. Community Health Maps case studies will demonstrate the successful use of these tools. The remainder focuses on downloading and mapping COVID-19 data using QGIS, the world’s leading open source desktop GIS software. By the end of the webinar you will know how to download data, import the data into QGIS, symbolize it, and make a map of COVID-19 cases per one million people by county. This webinar will be recorded and made available via YouTube.

The QGIS US Users Group & partners in North America are proud to announce the QGIS North America 2020 virtual conference to be held on Friday, July 17, 2020 (and Friday, July 24th if needed). 

This workshop will explore the wide range of data visualization and cartographic options available in QGIS 3. QGIS has seen remarkable growth in it's cartographic capacities in recent years. You will learn many techniques unique to QGIS such as: use of inverted polygon shapeburst fills, blending modes, live layer effects and geometry generator symbol layers. We will also work with animating time based data, 3D views and Mesh data. If you want to take your map creation skills to the next level - this is the perfect workshop for you!

Learn advanced data visualization techniques only available in QGIS such as Blending Modes, Live Layer Effects, working with the Time Manager, Geometry generators, implementing expression based symbology and working with Mesh data. Learn how features such as Editing in Place and Editing widgets can lead to more efficient workflows. Create animations in the new 3D environment. Learn how to use the Processing Modeler to automate workflows. Work with linear networks to find the shortest route. Process raster data and work with hydrologic modeling tools. QGIS certification included in registration fee. Prerequisite: QGIS: Intermediate. Required Text: Discover QGIS 3.x ‐ https://locatepress.com/dq3

An introduction to QGIS taught at the UC San Diego Library

This workshop will be a tour of the wide range of data visualization and cartographic options now available in QGIS 3.x. During the day you will learn many techniques unique to QGIS such as: use of inverted polygon shapeburst fills, blending modes, live layer effects and geometry generator symbol layers. Tips and tricks will be covered as we move through the day. If you want to take your map creation skills to the next level - this is the perfect workshop for you! Topics covered include:

I’ll be teaching a two day vector borne disease surveillance workshop using QGIS.

University of Michigan Ann Arbor

This workshop will be a tour of the wide range of data visualization/styling and cartographic techniques now available in QGIS 3. QGIS has seen remarkable growth in these areas in recent years. Tips and tricks will be covered as we work through a series of data visualization exercises. Topics covered will include: working with labels, use cases for blending modes, live layer effects, atlas generation, virtual layers, animating temporal data via the Time Manager plugin, and creating 3D views. Along the way many of the new renderers will be covered such as geometry generators, inverted polygons, 2.5D, heatmap, and point clustering and displacement. If you want to take QGIS to the next level and create stunning graphics, this workshop is for you.

Come and see a tour of the best features of QGIS 3.0. I work as a consultant on a variety of projects. I am also currently working on the 3rd Edition of Mastering QGIS which is focused on version 3. So I've already worked with this latest major release extensively. There are a ton of new features. In this talk I will cover the very best new features including aspects of the new Layout engine, the Geoprocessing environment, GUI enhancements, new data visualization features, useful shortcuts and other miscellaneous features. Come learn how to get the most out of this major new release!
