Learn design principles to make maps that communicate well. This workshop is divided into two sections. The first covers concepts and approaches to designing maps. The second will provide hands-on experience making a map in QGIS.

University of California Davis Library recently embarked on a proof-of-concept project to use a SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) to provide map-based search capabilities and digital access to scanned maps of campus.

Develop skills and workflows for creating maps drawn by hand on paper. Along the way, we will also explore cartographic (map design) principles and data sources that are applicable to maps and workflows using any tool, analog or digital.

California’s beach plants are visually similar to the sand they grow on. I will classify plant pixels using aerial imagery and elevation data using R’s spatial packages.

Ground sampling on beaches is time-consuming and custom remote sensing flights are expensive. I’ll explore ways to leverage open elevation data (lidar & DEMs) and open source software (R & QGIS) to better understand how plants build dunes.

Introduction: Legally defined appellation areas are used by governments throughout the world to demarcate geographic areas that produce agricultural products, such as wine, cheese, or preserved meats, with a specific quality or set of characteristics.
