Welcome to our new and returning students! The GIF is scheduling our upcoming geospatial workshop series for the fall semester. We're happy to announce our first workshop which will take place next week, on Friday, September 7th, from 9am - noon in Room 124 Mulford Hall.  GIF workshops offer hands-on applications oriented training in a variety of geospatial topics. Workshop fees are available FREE of charge for all UC students (graduate and undergraduate), faculty, and staff. Workshop fees are now $150 for all non-UC affiliates.

The workshop on September 7th is our Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Social Science Focus. This hands-on workshop has been designed for participants interested in social science with little to no experience in GIS. The presentation will get you up to speed on what kind of analyses GIS may be used for, as well as the basic structures of spatial data. After the lecture you will follow an interactive exercise that has been designed to introduce you to ArcGIS Desktop software while analyzing street and census data around the City of Berkeley. If you're interested in attending please sign up here.

Our full fall workshop schedule will be announced soon!
