Please vote on your top 3 topics so that I can create additional learning resources to meet your needs before the OE4BW beginner course ends. I’ll add one new topic every weekday in the final week of the course (05-09 July 2021)
The poll will close automatically at 11:00 GMT on Thursday 8th, but early votes will determine the topics covered Mon-Wed!
What are your GIS learning priorities beyond the beginner course?
Create data by importing from my own spreadsheet
Join data from one layer to another e.g. the landcover class or management zone a sighting occurs in
Create data by digitizing - draw features from a basemap
Transfer data to/from a GPS - transects, locations for next field survey etc
Find free environmental data - weather, satellite imagery, DEM etc
One area that may of interest is use of topographic data for terrain modelling.
Happy to answer any questions on this topic covering generating surface models from spot heights, slope and aspect calculation, line of sight and viewshed calculations etc.
We also invite your contributions to our collaborative database if you’re aware of other useful sources of free geospatial data not already included. You can add them here: Introducing GIS for conservation | Add new data sources
I’m afraid I’ve run out of time to cover digitizing (a large topic!) this week, but I will add resources on that and update the page on choosing an SRS later this month
