Would you like to become proficient in Quantum GIS (a free, open source GIS application)? If you are a graduate student and you have completed an introductory GIS course, then have we got the student-led seminar for you!</p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">The first four weeks will be a crash course in Quantum GIS with lab exercises. The rest of the course will take a clinic approach to individual GIS work. Seminar participants will be expected to present a GIS problem which is relevant to their research. The group will provide feedback on a range of GIS topics, which include data acquisition, model design, analysis techniques, and map design.</p>
