About the workshop
The workshop begins at 10am in Perth (UTC+8). See start time for your location.
This workshop will cover the fundamentals of using QGIS to acquire and process ASTER and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for mineral exploration and other earth observation activities.
Participants will be guided through how to source, download, and process freely available satellite imagery and produce RGB images of various spectral bands to enhance features of interest.
What we'll cover
We'll explore using satellite data in various workflows, covering:
- finding and processing satellite imagery
- working with the Semi-Automatic Classification QGIS plugin
- frequently used band ratios
- PCA analysis for enhancing geological and other surface features
- basic mineral mapping
Who should attend
Geologists, geophysicists, earth scientists, environmental scientists, and anyone monitoring earth surface processes will learn the fundamentals of using satellite imagery in QGIS for mining and exploration.
Certification
Mammoth Geospatial is an accredited QGIS Certifying Organisation. Workshop participants have the option of receiving an official QGIS certificate on completion, which provides a mechanism to financially support the QGIS project.
Additional Information
What to bring
- A laptop with a recent version of QGIS
- A mouse with a scroll wheel is recommended
- A working microphone and camera (this is an interactive session!)
- Ideally, at least two monitors to run the web meeting and QGIS
We'll provide more information about QGIS versions and other requirements when you register.
