This dataset holds all materials for the Inform E-learning GIS course

In this course, you will explore a variety of open-source technologies for working with geosptial data, performing spatial analysis, and undertaking general data science. The first component of the class focuses on the use of QGIS and associated technologies (GDAL, PROJ, GRASS, SAGA, and Orfeo Toolbox). The second component of the class introduces Python and associated open-source libraries and modules (NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, GeoPandas, Rasterio, WhiteboxTools, and Scikit-Learn) used by geospatial scientists and data scientists. We also provide an introduction to Structured Query Language (SQL) for performing table and spatial queries. This course is designed for individuals that have a background in GIS, such as working in the ArcGIS environment, but no prior experience using open-source software and/or coding. You will be asked to work through a series of lecture modules and videos broken into several topic areas, as outlined below. Fourteen assignments and the required data have been provided as hands-on opportunites to work with data and the discussed technologies and methods. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us. We hope to continue to update and improve this course.

Have you ever wanted to create your own maps, or integrate and visualize spatial datasets to examine changes in trends between locations and over time? Follow along with these training tutorials on QGIS, an open source geographic information system (GIS) and learn key concepts, procedures and skills for performing common GIS tasks – such as creating maps, as well as joining, overlaying and visualizing spatial datasets. These tutorials are geared towards new GIS users. We’ll start with foundational concepts, and build towards more advanced topics throughout – demonstrating how with a few relatively easy steps you can get quite a lot out of GIS. You can then extend these skills to datasets of thematic relevance to you in addressing tasks faced in your day-to-day work.

ArcGIS has many analysis and geoprocessing tools that can help you solve real-world problems with your data. In some cases, you are able to run individual tools to complete an analysis. But sometimes you may require a more comprehensive way to create, share, and document your analysis workflow.In these situations, you can use a built-in application called ModelBuilder to create a workflow that you can reuse, modify, save, and share with others.In this course, you will learn the basics of working with ModelBuilder and creating models. Models contain many different elements, many of which you will learn about. You will also learn how to work with models that others create and share with you. Sharing models is one of the major advantages of working with ModelBuilder and models in general. You will learn how to prepare a model for sharing by setting various model parameters.After completing this course, you will be able to:Identify model elements and states.Describe a prebuilt model's processes and outputs.Create and document models for site selection and network analysis.Define model parameters and prepare a model for sharing.

This is a full-day training, developed by UNEP CMB, to introduce participants to the basics of GIS, how to import points from Excel to a GIS, and how to make maps with QGIS, MapX and Tableau. It prioritizes the use of free and open software.

This seminar is an applied study of deep learning methods for extracting information from geospatial data, such as aerial imagery, multispectral imagery, digital terrain data, and other digital cartographic representations. We first provide an introduction and conceptualization of artificial neural networks (ANNs). Next, we explore appropriate loss and assessment metrics for different use cases followed by the tensor data model, which is central to applying deep learning methods. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are then conceptualized with scene classification use cases. Lastly, we explore semantic segmentation, object detection, and instance segmentation. The primary focus of this course is semantic segmenation for pixel-level classification. The associated GitHub repo provides a series of applied examples. We hope to continue to add examples as methods and technologies further develop. These examples make use of a vareity of datasets (e.g., SAT-6, topoDL, Inria, LandCover.ai, vfillDL, and wvlcDL). Please see the repo for links to the data and associated papers. All examples have associated videos that walk through the process, which are also linked to the repo. A variety of deep learning architectures are explored including UNet, UNet++, DeepLabv3+, and Mask R-CNN. Currenlty, two examples use ArcGIS Pro and require no coding. The remaining five examples require coding and make use of PyTorch, Python, and R within the RStudio IDE. It is assumed that you have prior knowledge of coding in the Python and R enviroinments. If you do not have experience coding, please take a look at our Open-Source GIScience and Open-Source Spatial Analytics (R) courses, which explore coding in Python and R, respectively. After completing this seminar you will be able to: explain how ANNs work including weights, bias, activation, and optimization. describe and explain different loss and assessment metrics and determine appropriate use cases. use the tensor data model to represent data as input for deep learning. explain how CNNs work including convolutional operations/layers, kernel size, stride, padding, max pooling, activation, and batch normalization. use PyTorch, Python, and R to prepare data, produce and assess scene classification models, and infer to new data. explain common semantic segmentation architectures and how these methods allow for pixel-level classification and how they are different from traditional CNNs. use PyTorch, Python, and R (or ArcGIS Pro) to prepare data, produce and assess semantic segmentation models, and infer to new data.

Through the Department of the Interior-Bureau of Indian Affairs Enterprise License Agreement (DOI-BIA ELA) program, BIA employees and employees of federally-recognized Tribes may access a variety of geographic information systems (GIS) online courses and instructor-led training events throughout the year at no cost to them. These online GIS courses and instructor-led training events are hosted by the Branch of Geospatial Support (BOGS) or offered by BOGS in partnership with other organizations and federal agencies. Online courses are self-paced and available year-round, while instructor-led training events have limited capacity and require registration and attendance on specific dates. This dataset does not any training where the course was not completed by the participant or where training was cancelled or otherwise not able to be completed. Point locations depict BIA Office locations or Tribal Office Headquarters. For completed trainings where a participant location was not provided a point locations may not be available.

This file provides the raw data of an online survey intended at gathering information regarding remote sensing (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for conservation in academic education. The aim was to unfold best practices as well as gaps in teaching methods of remote sensing/GIS, and to help inform how these may be adapted and improved. A total of 73 people answered the survey, which was distributed through closed mailing lists of universities and conservation groups.

I’d love to begin by saying that I have not “arrived” as I believe I am still on a journey of self-discovery. I have heard people say that they find my journey quite interesting and I hope my story inspires someone out there.I had my first encounter with Geographic Information System (GIS) in the third year of my undergraduate study in Geography at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria. I was opportune to be introduced to the essentials of GIS by one of the prominent Environmental and Urban Geographers in person of Dr O.J Taiwo. Even though the whole syllabus and teaching sounded abstract to me due to the little exposure to a practical hands-on approach to GIS software, I developed a keen interest in the theoretical learning and I ended up scoring 70% in my final course exam.
