Submission Type:
Hands-on Workshop
Of all the data visualisation forms available, maps have always fascinated me the most - it deals with data that is about us, the space we inhabit, and they just look wow. While there are many mapping softwares available, the one we will be focussing on is Quantum GIS or QGIS. Why QGIS? Because it’s open source and a one-stop-solution for everything spatial.
Your takeaway from this workshop
a. Navigating the QGIS interface
b. Handle various spatial data formats like vector and raster
c. Quantify and analyse datasets for context
d. Export a map on NASA’s fire activity dataset
This session is for anyone who is interested in GIS-based stories/communication, specifically data journalists, visualisers, researchers
The workshop will be conducted by Pulaha Roy, senior data journalist at Dow to Earth, Centre for Science and Environment. Follow his work @
