Introduction to QGIS for Mining & Exploration
In this two day QGIS workshop for Mining & Exploration professionals, we'll help you discover how you can use this powerful tool in your workflow.
The workshop
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll cover the key features of QGIS including:
- importing, exporting and editing raster & vector geospatial data
- data-driven visualisation and analysis
- creating professional-looking maps
- using QGIS plugins for geology-specific workflows such as producing sections
- sources of free geoscience data, satellite imagery, and templates
Who should attend
Geologists, geoscientists, field staff, GIS professionals, exploration managers, database administrators and others.
Certification
Mammoth Geospatial is an official QGIS Certifying Organisation. Successful participants in our workshops will receive an official QGIS certificate, providing direct financial support to the QGIS project.
