Raster data as spatial layers We are going to look at some different types of raster data today as well as exploring these data in both QGIS and ArcPro. Starting with QGIS Load the crop inventory file Open up the raster file (aci_2019_bc.tif) in the lab4/cropinventory folder in the GEOG204 Read more…
Not points, lines and polygons We have looked at vector data so far in the labs and tutorials. We understand the relationship between these vector layers. We have investigated how vector geometries and attributes can be manipulated through spatial analysis, and now we are going to look at a different Read more…
Enterprise data security and safety Ensuring your data is safe is part of being a Spatial Data Manager. Today we are going to look at backing up our database and then taking a look at versioning data in PostGIS through a QGIS plugin. Backing up your data Backing up the Read more…

The use of Unique IDs to relate census layers In the lab and tutorial we have looked at Census data in the forms of Postal Codes and Dissemination Layers. In lecture we have looked at the small area layers that can be use for analysis such as: Blocks, Dissemination Area, Read more…
Topics: Solving a Problem We have been working toward gaining some understanding of the many aspects of spatial data, and how descriptive information can be linked to these geographical entities. Today we are going to take a break from GIS theory and concentrate on GIS applications. This is where we Read more…
