SUMMARY:QGIS Intensive Series: Plugins in QGIS
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 24 2025 \n\n\n\nThis intermediate-level workshop is meant to extend basic knowledge of QGIS by exploring common plugins. Familiarity of the QGIS is therefore a prerequisite. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to use plugins to \n\n\n\n\nAccess dynamic basemaps hosted on web servers\n\n\n\nQuery and download Open Street Map (OSM) data\n\n\n\nGeocode address data from a spreadsheet\, and\n\n\n\nCreate an interactive webmap from a QGIS project\n\n\n\n\nFamiliarity with GIS is prerequisite for this workshop. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods. \n\n\n\nThings to do before arriving:\n\n\n\nQGIS is a free and open source desktop geographic information system (GIS). It can be installed on Windows\, MacOS\, and Linux using the download instructions here: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. \n\n\n\nBefore attending\, please download the most recent QGIS Long Term Release and review the Research Commons’ Introduction to QGIS. \n\n\n\nPresenter(s):Lily Crandall-Oral
