The GIS Centre announces the first installment in its ‘Lunch-less Learn’ series:

First Encounters of the GIS Kind: An Introduction to the Basics of GIS

Thursday, September 17th, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Room G70, North Learning Commons, Killam Library (first floor)

What is a ‘Lunch-less Learn’, you may ask? It’s a hands-on tutorial, held around lunchtime, open to all – without the food! This session is an introduction for people with little or no experience in GIS. We will be using ArcGIS software.

Due to a high level of interest, we ask that you contact the GIS Centre to reserve a space. For more information, visit our website.

PLEASE NOTE:
This is the first topic in a series. The session will be repeated at Sexton Campus Oct 22 from 12-1:30 and at the Killam Library Oct 28 from 12-1:30. This session will give users the basics that are assumed for any of the other sessions in the series.

Shade Model Project Video

2 Comments

Watch the GIS Centre’s new Shade Model Project video (scroll to the bottom of the page).The model utilizes LiDAR (light detection and ranging) elevation data to show shadow for a late summer day in and around the Public Gardens. The LiDAR dataset collected by the Halifax Regional Municipality has many uses in environmental and urban planning which are being explored by Dalhousie University and HRM.

This is just one example of the type of cool projects that the GIS Centre is working on!
