How Our Exercises Are Structured?
The exercises provided by GIS For Biologists are based around the in-person courses provided by GIS In Ecology, one of the world leaders in providing GIS training for biologists by biologists. This training uses real biological data sets to provide training in how to do specific tasks that biologists are likely to need to be able to do on a regular basis. By making these exercises available online at an easily affordable price (US$15 per exercise or $30 for all three exercises in our short course – this is in addition to purchasing the book on which these exercises are based), we hope to provide greater access to our training materials at a fraction of the prices of attending in-person courses (which are typically £295 per person for a two day course and £395 for a three day course) and without the associated travel and accommodation costs which are a barrier to many people, especially students and those working for NGOs, from attending. Through this, we hope to encourage more and more biologists to incorporate the power of GIS into their research.
Each exercise provides all the information needed to complete it, and consists of two parts. These are written instructions provided as easy-to-follow flow diagrams, which can be found in the accompanying book (GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates), and on-demand videos which provide background information on each exercise, an introduction to the data layers that will be used and a demonstration of how to do each step within the exercise. At least one video in each exercise is available for free, meaning that you can try out this video before you decide whether you’d like to subscribe to that exercise or not, while extracts from the book can be found here.
To purchase a subscription to the videos for the whole course, or to an individual exercise, simply click on the page link for one of the exercises (we recommend you start with exercise one), and then click on the first video. This will bring up the payment options which you can use to pay for the videos you wish to access.
We advise that before you subscribe to the videos for any of our exercises that you first purchase a copy of GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates by Colin D. MacLeod (ISBN: 978-0-909-832-17-6). This can be purchased as a Kindle eBook or paperback, but we recommend that you purchase the paperback edition, as you will find it easier to follow the videos and complete the exercises if you have a hard copy of the book in front of you while you are working through it. You can purchase this book from Amazon, its regional subsidiaries, such as Amazon.co.uk, or you an order it from any good book shop. If you are based in the US, you can also purchase a discounted copy from Createspace.com (Amazon’s print on demand publishing arm) using the code 6WVP6YMC.
An Introduction To Our Exercises And How To Complete Them
Each exercise provides all the information needed to complete it, and consists of two parts. These are written instructions provided as easy-to-follow flow diagrams, which can be found in the accompanying book GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates and the on-demand videos which you will find on this site. If, for some reason, you cannot see the video below or hear the sound when it plays, click here for an alternative method of accessing it.
Downloading And Installing The Correct Version Of QGIS
The exercises which you will find on GIS For Biologists are designed to be carried out using QGIS version 2.8.3 (or QGIS 2.8.4 if you are using a computer with a Mac OS operating system), and it is important that you download and install this version and not any other version. Don’t worry if you already have a different version of QGIS installed, you can have multiple versions of it installed on the same machine.
To install QGIS on a computer running a Mac OS, download a compressed file containing the QGIS .dmg file for version 2.8.4 clicking here. Once you have downloaded it, open the folder and install the .dmg file called QGIS-2.8.4-1.dmg. Note: You will probably need to change the security settings on your computer to allow you to install software from an unauthorised source before you can install QGIS. If you run into any problems, this video may help (this is not a GIS In Ecology video). The other .dmg files provided in this compressed folder are optional, but it is worth installing them too, after you have installed QGIS. If you choose to install these files, install them in the following order: NumPy-1.8.0-1.dmg, NumPy-1.9.2-1.dmg, SciPy-0.13.1-1.dmg, SciPy-0.16.0-1.dmg.
Understanding The QGIS User Interface And How To Set It Up Correctly The First Time
Once you have installed the correct version of QGIS, make sure you read chapter eleven of GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates so that you understand the layout of its user interface. You can find the same information in the video below, but you still need to read chapter eleven to ensure that you set up the QGIS user interface in a way that is compatible with the instructions for the practical exercises in GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates and in the on-demand videos used in the exercises provided by this site.
An Introduction To GIS And Why It Is Useful For Biologists
The video below provides a very brief introduction to GIS, which explains what it is and why it is a useful tool for biologists. If, for some reason, you cannot see this video or hear the sound when it plays, click here for an alternative method of accessing it.
An Introduction To Projections
The concept of projections is critical to successfully using GIS in biological research. As a result, it is important that you understand what projections are before you start working through any of our exercises. The video below will provide you with a basic introduction to projections and explain why they are important in GIS.
You can find out more about projections and how to select an appropriate projection for a specific GIS project in chapter four of GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates. Once you have selected a suitable projection, the first thing you need to do is to set your GIS software to use it. For QGIS, this is done through the CRS (or Coordinate Reference System) tab of the Project Properties window, as shown in the video below.
When creating a GIS project, it is best to ensure that all your data layers are in the same projection/coordinate system and that this is the same one that you have selected for your GIS project. If any data layers are in a different projection/coordinate system, then you will need to transform a data layer from its current projection/coordinate system into the same one that you have selected for your GIS project. In QGIS, this can be done using the SAVE AS function as illustrated in the video below.
