I think I need GIS

Mimic Data Carpentry with local campus data

• Flush out what we want the end product to look like

Annotation vs geospatial data

Features have attributes - a data table - columns have fixed data types (a lot of them) - for example bikes

Types of data:

• Vector: Difference between point, line, and polygon
• Raster: an array of values that can be used
  • Single band
  • Multibands

Projections? Reprojection (raster, polygons)

• Import point data from a csv
• Zonal statistics (simple)

Add raster with another projection

• NCOS? Bird observations (might becsv)
• Topographic map to compute solar panels location (maybe workshop 3?)
• Facilities data (buildings)
• DEM
• Bike paths
• Trees

Potential simple analysis as end product

• Zonal statistics
• Count number of points within a polygon
• Heatmap from points
• Buffering

Exporting data from GIS

• Shapefile
• geodatabase

What tool?

• ArcGIS online
• ArcGIS pro
• QGIS
