Foreword

version française


This is a click-by-click crashcourse to get you from 0-GIS-knowledge to the minimum to work with field data. Originally, I developed this course for AGF-212 - Snow and Ice Processes for the University Centre in Svalbard. Thus, the topics are aimed towards the course content but the skills are transferable. And all data is freely available (yeahy!). The goal of the course is to be able to make a map during fieldwork to keep track of instruments and activities.

In any case: It is good to get familiar with Svalbard it is a great place to be and...and you should take more courses! Especially AGF-213 - Polar Meteorology and Climate and AGS-350/850 - The Arctic Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Local Climate Processes are super great (not only because I teach them).

This course is bilinugal (ENG/FR). On top of each page is a button to switch to the other language. So, you are not only learning new skill but also a new language.

Anyway, enough of my palaver, enjoy the course. And I am always happy to get feedback on this masterpiece.
