This instructor-led, live training in Taiwan (online or onsite) is designed for beginner-level earth sciences and engineering professionals who want to apply Python for geospatial analysis in both ArcGIS and QGIS environments.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Master Python syntax and control structures to execute geospatial tasks efficiently.
• Utilize Pandas, Numpy, and Matplotlib for data analysis and visualization within GIS contexts.
• Manipulate and analyze vector data using Geopandas, Arcpy, and PyQGIS libraries.
• Automate geospatial processes and workflows through Python scripting in ArcGIS and QGIS.
• Create custom Python-based geoprocessing tools for ArcGIS and QGIS to streamline tasks.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a framework engineered to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is also sometimes used to refer to Geographic Information Science (GIScience), the academic discipline that studies these systems, which constitutes a significant domain within the broader field of geoinformatics.

QGIS operates as a Geographic Information System (GIS) software solution, enabling users to analyze and edit spatial information, as well as compose and export graphical maps. It supports both raster and vector layers, with vector data stored as point, line, or polygon features. The software accommodates multiple raster image formats and can georeference images. In summary, it empowers users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information across Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD platforms.

In its first phase, this program introduces the QGIS interface for general usage. In the second phase, we introduce PyQGIS—QGIS's Python libraries—which allow the integration of GIS functionalities into your Python code or applications, enabling you to develop your own Python Plugins tailored to specific GIS functions.

This instructor-led, online intermediate-level training on QGIS is designed to teach participants how to work with satellite imagery and perform image classification using QGIS.
