Introduction to GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools for visualizing and analyzing data tied to geography. By binding data to geography, interesting trends can be explored. This workshop led by Chris Thiry (Map and GIS Librarian) will provide a high-level introduction to GIS software and some of the features that make GIS so useful.

This workshop is part of the Career Toolkit for Graduate Students workshop series. Career Toolkit for Graduate Students & Postdocs is a workshop series aiming to provide early career researchers with tips, tools, and best practices across the research lifecycle as well as prepare students for life beyond school.

The series is hosted weekly by Seth Vuletich, Scholarly Communications Librarian, and Roel Snieder, Director of the Center for Professional Development Education.
