Training Course - An Introduction To Using GIS In Ecological Field Studies, Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment (SCENE), Rowardennan, Near Glasgow, 17th - 19th June 2014
The course will consist of a mix of background talks, practical sessions based around ArcGIS software and field sessions conducted in the local oak woodland. The field sessions will provide experience in how to collect data in a manner that is GIS-compatible. The course will cover areas such as making a map for a paper or a report, extracting information from Google Earth for use in a GIS project, collecting GIS-compatible data using a GPS receiver, transferring data between a GPS and a GIS project, creating raster data layers of environmental information, importing data to a GIS project from a spreadsheet and linking species records to environmental information. A preliminary course timetable and content can be downloaded by clicking here.
At the end of the course, all attendees will receive a certificate of attendance and completion. Each certificate is embossed with the GIS In Ecology official stamp to prevent its fraudulent reproduction. In addition, each certificate has its own unique identification number that we will record, along with your name, meaning that we can verify the authenticity of the certificates we issue (and the course you have completed) on request.
