Join us for an introduction to map making using modern digital tools. We will briefly explore the concept of what a map is and how we use digital data to represent the geospatial world. The bulk of the workshop will be spent creating a map using the geospatial tool of your choice: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, or the R software language. We will cover aligning geospatial data (coordinate reference systems), map elements (scale bars, north arrows, legends), and changing visuals (editing symbology). It's a great opportunity to create a map for an upcoming paper or presentation, the workshop is a good entry for those wanting quick, simple results before exploring more advanced geospatial coursework.
