Apologies if this is not appropriate for the QGIS user list, but I figured some members of it might be interested in it. In addition, this book wouldn’t have been possible without the help of various list members who answered my posts when I got stuck working out how to do a couple of things in QGIS, so thanks to them for their help. I’ll be donating 10% of the profits from any sales to the QGIS project.
An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook Seven – An Introduction To Using QGIS (Quantum GIS) - RRP £19.99/U$29.99. ISBN: 978-1-909832-14-5. This book provides five exercises, each with an optional extra, which work with a standard data set to help marine biologists learn how to do various tasks they are likely to need to be able to do on a regular basis in QGIS. It assumes no prior knowledge of QGIS, or indeed GIS in general (although some background reading on the basic concept of GIS would be useful). All the exercises use easy-to-follow flow diagrams and, whenever possible, non-technical lanquage that marine biologists will already be familiar with. While primarily designed to be worked through by individuals, it also provides the perfect practical materials for those who want to provide introductory training in GIS to marine biologists using QGIS at the undergraduate or postraduate level, but who don’t have access to their own data sets or the time to put their own practical exercises together.

This book can be purchased from Amazon, ordered from your local book seller, or purchased direct from GIS In Ecology.

MacLeod Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 12:05 PM To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org Subject: QGIS Training Course For Biologists Apologies if this is not appropriate for the QGIS user list, but I figured some members of it might be interested in it. GIS In Ecology will be running a 2 day training course titled ‘An Introduction To Using QGIS In Biological Research’ in Glasgow, Scotland on the 30-31 March 2015. GIS In Ecology specialises in providing training and advice to using GIS in all aspects of biological and ecological research. Having previously only offered courses aimed at ArcGIS users, I am pleased say that from now on, we will be offering an alternative based on this freely available GIS software, and by providing this training course, we hope to promote the use of QGIS amongst biologists/ecologists. The course will involve a series of background sessions on general apsects of GIS and its use in biological research, but the main element will be a series of practical exercises where attendees will work with real biological data to complete a series of tasks which biologists need to do on a regular basis as part of their research. As with all our courses, it will be taught by biologists for biologists, and using the type of language biologists are already familiar with. In addition, it will use GIS In Ecology’s task-oriented learning (TOL) approach that has proved very successful for training biologists how to use GIS in their work. While this is a commerical course, a portion of the course fees will be donated to QGIS to help support its future development.
