About

Take sessions anytime, at your own pace, with unlimited course access for 30 days.

Focusing on an Australian river catchment as a case study, you will learn how load and import data into a QGIS project, process, interpolate and create layers from groundwater data and develop groundwater level maps from borehole data and DEM.

This course is designed for the beginner and is highly practical.

Using data preparation, analysis and mapping you will build a project with step-by-step guidance for our presenters using QGIS and other tools. Through the course you will run, animate, interpret and troubleshoot your project and create an informative map.

Course Outline:

The course covers 3 main topics namely;

Session 1: Adding groundwater data to a QGIS project

Load data from online sources into QGIS
Import CSV files
Save data and styling to a GeoPackage
Save a QGIS project to a GeoPackage

Session 2: Process groundwater data in QGIS

Reproject layers
Select features by expression
Export selected features
Create buffers
Dissolve features
Intersect layers
Clip layers
Use the Point Sampling Tool
Join attributes and make them permanent

Session 3: Create a groundwater level map for borehole data and a DEM

Calculate the density of the boreholes in a polygon
Download the SRTM 1-Arc Second DEM
Clip and reproject a DEM
Style a DEM
Sample elevation at the borehole location and compare it with the elevation attribute
Make corrections and calculations in the attribute table
Interpolate groundwater levels of the boreholes to a raster

Format:

6+ hours of session recordings with unlimited access for 30-days;
Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the AWS learning platform;
Homework exercises between the 3 parts;
Manual of the course and working model download/s;
Ability to ask questions to the presenters at anytime through the learning platform;
