Open Source GIS Workshop

QGIS, Leaflet, and MapBox Familiarization

Open Source GIS Workshop - Winter 2019

This workshop by Jonathon A. Kemp provided me with my fundamental understanding of open-source options for GIS such as QGIS, Leaflet (web mapping API), and MapBox (customizable base map service).



Skills learned:

  • QGIS Basics: Projecting Data, Definition Queries, Python, QGIS “composer”
  • QGIS Advanced: Deploying to the Web, Web Mapping APIs, OpenStreetMap, Geoprocessing, Summary Statistics, Field Calculator + Expressions
  • MapBox: Designing Custom Basemaps
  • Leaflet API: Deploying a Simple Web Map to Github


Examples of my work in this workshop using QGIS and MapBox service layers:

Map 1 - Basic QGIS Map Output

Map 2 - QGIS and Open Street Map

Map 4 - Cumulative Skills Map
