Introduction to Spatial Data in QGIS

This repository contains the material connected to a workshop developed for CDCS by Ian Holmes Edina and Tom Armitage. This workshop is an introduction on how to work with spatial data.

Spatial analysis underpins a wide range of research across numerous fields, from tracking the movements of people, to considering the impact of location on certain phenomena, to studying environmental change.

The workshop covers some of the issues that surround the data and then gets to grips with viewing and styling it using the GIS Software.

Below you can find a repository containing the material connected to this workshop (datasets, a workbook, a deck of slides, and some additional resources).

How to use this repository

This repository contains a series of datasets and instructions on how to do the practicals within a zipped folder ('Instruction to spatial data and GIS'), a workbook, a deck of slides, and a resource list. Download the datasets and follow the instructions in the workbook and the practicals instructions. You can also use the slides and the resource list to gather further knowledge on the topic.
