Introducing Techniques Tutorials

Some of the impediments to becoming proficient with GIS and remote sensing for many people is the complexity of the software systems, and time necessary to follow the learning curve.

Through adding a section to this blog with GIS and remote sensing screencasts, I endeavor to help people become more familiar with the techniques of GIS, remote sensing, and spatial analysis. Below is the first screen cast. More will be posted on the Techniques pages on the right. All videos can also be found by searching for Placingculture on Youtube. Enjoy, and please let me know of any comments, criticisms, or suggestions for subsequent screencasts.

Are you a social scientist, a scholar in the humanities, or perhaps working in the fine arts? Have you heard someone mention GIS, GPS, remote sensing, or perhaps independently thought about how adding a spatial component to your research might help further your analysis? For those without a background in geography, understanding how to begin integrate spatial questions can be as daunting as the software itself can seem.

One of my great academic passions is helping fellow scholars to start thinking about their research in a spatial way. Through this linked page, I offer the opportunity to provide basic feedback on approaching the process of devising spatial questions and understanding the process of obtaining the necessary spatial skill sets.

If you interested in receiving some advice along these lines, please leave a question (with a few lines about the basics of your research) in the comments. I, and any others who have ideas, will post a response, beginning a conversation intended to further the depth of your research.
