Jennie Murack, Alex Oberg
| Jan/14 | Thu | 02:00PM-04:00PM | 14N-132, use a lab computer or bring a laptop |
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Before you can start a research project, you need data! Learn about the different types of spatial data, resources for accessing it, and how to understand and organize it. At the end of this workshop you will be ready to work with spatial data. This workshop is appropriate for GIS users of all levels as well as those who intend to work with spatial data outside of GIS software.
