About

Given the increasing amounts of open geospatial and remotely-sensed data and the vast amount of information it provides, GIS is an essential instrument for geographers, engineers, geologists, architects, ecologists, and agronomists who recognize the complex operations required to wrangle, analyze, and visualize their data.

If you're a professional using GIS in your daily work and already have some knowledge of Python, QGIS—aligned with Python—will give you compelling opportunities to streamline workflows and maximize your data analysis and manipulation.

This course will get you up-and-running with geospatial analysis using QGIS 3.10 and Python.

Learn how to use data queries, create a 3D map on a web server, and interact with Python and QGIS. You will learn to distinguish between vector and raster layers; which will give you flexibility when considering data sources and processing methods for problem-solving. While understanding how to process remote sensing data and output terrain maps, and customize and automate geo-processes effectively for your work.

By the end of the course, you will be able to use QGIS 3.10 and Python together to create interactive geospatial maps. The code bundle for this course is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Geospatial-Analysis-with-QGIS-3.10-and-Python
