Hi everyone Instats is excited to offer a free seminar What is GIS? <https://instats.org/seminar/what-is-gis-free-seminar>, livestreaming on October 7 and led by Dr Nick Bearman from University College London and Geospatial Training Solutions. Mastering geospatial information systems has become essential for today’s scholars: GIS enables researchers to visualise, analyse, and understand spatial data—whether mapping species distributions, investigating urban growth, or uncovering geographic patterns in social science. In this focused workshop, Dr Bearman translates core GIS concepts into practical skills, guiding participants through sourcing and managing spatial data, navigating popular GIS software, creating compelling visualisations, and applying spatial analysis techniques across diverse research domains. Attendees will leave with the confidence to integrate GIS into their projects, enhancing both analytical depth and methodological rigour.
This free seminar is an introductory event providing a strong foundation for participants who are interested in advancing their GIS skills further. Dr Bearman is also offering two additional multi-part courses, each available with an automatic 10% discount. These advanced offerings include: (1) QGIS: A Full Course <https://instats.org/course/qgis-a-full-course2>, which is a meticulously structured sequence designed to equip researchers with essential skills for managing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data using the powerful QGIS software; and (2) GIS in R: A Full Course <https://instats.org/course/gis-in-r-a-full-course2>, which comprises three thoughtfully curated seminars, each covering core aspects of GIS in R, from basic data handling to advanced spatial analyses and the application of spatial statistics. Sign up today <https://instats.org/seminar/what-is-gis-free-seminar> and share this opportunity with colleagues and students who could benefit!
