Explore geographic information systems topics in Map Monday workshops

Have you ever been curious about using spatial data software for a research project? Are you interested in learning how to use geographic data to visually tell a story? Now is the time to get started!

The Geographic Information Systems Spatial Analysis Laboratory, GISSAL, will host a series of beginner-friendly, hands-on workshops for K-State faculty, staff and students during the fall semester. The series will also include a kick-off session for experienced ArcMap users to begin, or master, the transition to ArcGIS Pro.

  • Migrating GIS Projects from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro – Sept. 8
  • Unlocking Spatial Insights with GIS – Sept. 22
  • Sourcing, Managing, and Analyzing Spatial Data – Oct. 13
  • Web Mapping Fundamentals: From Data to Visualization – Nov. 3

All workshops will take place from 9-11 a.m. in Seaton Hall, 3014A. Advanced registration is required, and each workshop is limited to 30 participants. Desktop computers will be provided, but personal laptops may also be used. If you bring a personal laptop, it must have ArcGIS Pro 3.5 installed prior to the beginning of each workshop.

Visit the GISSAL website for more information and to register.

GISSAL is a university core facility established in 1990 as an interdisciplinary center supporting geospatial research, learning and outreach activities. The Map Monday workshops are co-sponsored by the department of geography and geospatial sciences and the Institute for Digital Agriculture and Advanced Analytics.
