Editing mode in QGIS can be really useful. Here we look at how to add a new field to an attribute table, fill in some values and style our layer thematically with the new values. To do this we use…

I’ve been working on a QGIS plug-in to pull GBIF observations into user selected areas of interest. It’s still a WIP, but check it out! All thanks to the GBIF API

It's a plugin for QGIS that allows you to store geographic locations in your Zotero citation metadata and lets you make maps of your the papers you put in Zotero.

So for the past month (or so) i have been designing a map based on various places that I have traveled to in Colorado in 2025. I am not currently looking for feedback ( that will come) I just want to relish in the enjoyment of having completed a map in QGIS and Adobe Illustrator #GISChat #MapSky

I'd personally suggest ESRI's MOOCs (www.esri.com/training/mooc). I know, weird choice right? But, I found the knowledge I gained there transferable to how I used QGIS.

Alternatively, I'd have to refer to QGIS training manual and tutorials:
docs.qgis.org/3.40/en/docs...
www.qgistutorials.com/en

Inspired by @imagineterrain.bsky.social recent maps using the FEMA NFIP dataset, I decided to make a map of my own. After hex binning the data, the spatial pattern more or less follows population centers, at least for the eastern portion of the US.

I am still learning #QGIS!

There's some great explanation for how map projections work in this short, but it's too hot today for me to work it out 😅
