Date: 8-29 March 2023
Facilitator: John McLeod, Geologist, USA

The PESGB present their new Training Partner Programme, designed for members and non-members to enhance their professional development.

The first course within this programme is ‘QGIS for Geoscience Professionals 2023’, which will be delivered online by geologist John McLeod.

In this four-week introductory online course, John will explore some of the most common geoscience uses of Quantum Geographic Information Systems (QGIS) – globally the most popular and advanced open-source GIS program available.

Overview

If you have used ESRI or other Geographic Information System (GIS) programs, you are already familiar with the utility and capabilities of relational database mapping and analysis. If you have used Petrel, Geographix, Kingdom, Petra, or other commercial petroleum geoscience programs you appreciate how mapping software can be tailored to the demands of a specific industry (oil and gas).

Did you know that open-source (free) mapping software can be adapted to many of the specialized geoscience mapping functions you may have done in commercial software?

QGIS can be challenging to learn but is worth the effort.

In this four-week introductory online course, we will explore some of the most common geoscience uses of Quantum Geographic Information Systems (QGIS) – globally the most popular and advanced open-source GIS program available.

The online course will be conducted in the form of lecture, demonstration, class exercises and interaction on your computer. Each weekly session will be 2 hours in length and will include homework assignments for practice and exploration to reinforce learning for Geoscience Professionals.
