Data Skills: Modeling Sea Level Rise with QGIS Online

From elevation data to interactive maps, learn how to model sea level rise with QGIS.

Explore how open-source tools can be used to model and visualize sea level rise. In this hands-on workshop, participants will download coastal elevation data from NOAA and use QGIS mapping software to simulate and visualize changing sea levels. The session concludes by exporting the results as an interactive web map and publishing it online using open-source web mapping libraries. No prior GIS or web development experience is required.

This workshop is taught by Digital Scholarship and is part of the Data Skills series, hosted by University of Rochester Libraries Data Services. Please register to receive the zoom link and workshop materials.
