This intermediate-level workshop will demonstrate how to create thematic maps using QGIS, a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) for analyzing, modifying, and visualizing spatial data. Additionally, participants will learn how to perform queries on spatial data and edit the attribute table.

NOTE: Prior to the workshop date, please review our Introduction to Mapmaking with QGIS (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-mapping-intro/). Additionally, if you are new to QGIS, we recommend you review our workshop on Reference Mapping with QGIS (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-reference-mapping/) as well.

This workshop is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods.
