PLACES STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE FIRST 13 REGISTRATIONS
QGIS is a free open-source GIS program that runs on the PC, Mac and Linux. Although QGIS is not specifically built for geological applications, the program is very capable and can easily manage most data import, data display and map production required by today’s geologists. Because the program is open source there are no problems with multiple copies and no licensing issues. QGIS is available in 24 languages including Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese ( Including Brazilian Portuguese ).
With the current downturn in exploration, it may be an ideal time to learn a new GIS program and build up your GIS skills.
The workshop has been designed for new users and experienced users of Geographic Information Systems to find out what QGIS can do for you. The morning will comprise presentations on the various features of QGIS and the afternoon will be hands-on using QGIS to import and display various types of data (vector, raster, geological, geochemical, geophysical, and satellite imagery data).
Once registered further information will be forwarded. Bring your laptops for hands-on sessions.
For enquiries on the workshop contact Grant Boxer by email.
