GIS for Air Quality
Back to Air Quality training
Course Description:
This course will provide tribal environmental professionals with the skills needed to map and interpret air quality-related data
using GIS (Geographic Information System) software. Participants will learn to integrate a variety of data (including Access and
Excel file formats) into a GIS project. Prior GIS experience is not required; however basic computer skills are necessary. This
is a specialized course that takes a "learn by doing" approach. Participants will be able to progress at their own pace through
a series of computer exercises designed to use GIS for real-world applications.
Topics include:
- Introduction to GIS
- Integrating basic air dispersion and trajectory modeling data into GIS
- Analyzing and manipulating data using GIS
- Adjusting data imagery for better visualization
- Exporting maps for use in other applications
Pre-Requisites:
Applicants need a working knowledge of air quality terms and concepts and must have completed the following prerequisites (or have equivalent training/experience) prior to attending.
- Introduction to Tribal Air Quality
- Air Quality Computations
- Air Pollution Technology
