Hi MARMAM, We have just two sessions of QGIS Essentials remaining this year, with our next session beginning in October!
Our course is designed specifically around marine and ocean science applications, with marine mammal data serving as a key spatial resource throughout the training. Participants gain hands-on experience working with species occurrence and distribution data alongside environmental and oceanographic datasets to build practical GIS skills relevant to marine mammal research, monitoring, and management. Topics include importing and managing spatial data, coordinate reference systems, vector and raster analysis, geoprocessing, working with environmental datasets, and creating publication-quality maps using QGIS, a free and open-source GIS platform. The course is fully online and asynchronous, with 30 days of access and instructor support, so participants can work through the material on their own schedule. QGIS Essentials is also certified by IMarEST for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), making it a great option for marine professionals looking to build practical GIS skills while contributing to their ongoing professional development. If learning QGIS has been on your list for 2026, there are only two more opportunities to join us this year!
