We will select up to 20 graduate students to participate in this workshop. Selection will be based on your AAG membership status, your research needs, and time of registration. If you are selected, we will notify you ahead of the workshop and provide you all the workshop details and session links. If you are selected, the expectation is that you will participate in all sessions of the workshop.
The selected participants should have a basic understanding and experience of GIS. The students need to have used at least one GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS). The students can be from any sub-discipline in Geography and can be on any graduate-level (e.g., master, Ph.D.).
This workshop will meet at the following times (Eastern Time):
Throughout the week, expect to also spend a few hours working independently on readings or short assignments for the workshop.
