SUMMARY:QGIS Intensive Series: Mapping for Academic Publication (Reference Maps)
DESCRIPTION:\nIn this beginner-friendly workshop\, you will learn to create 
 simple\, static maps to accompany academic publications. You will be 
 introduced to a variety of maps as well as best practices in cartography. 
 This workshop is suited for anyone who wants to make a map of their 
 research area\, or whose project involves data with a spatial component. To 
 make our maps\, we will use QGIS\, a free and open-source Geographic 
 Information System (GIS) for analyzing\, modifying\, and visualizing 
 spatial data.\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will have the confidence 
 to:\n\n\n	Decide what kind of map best conveys your research or 
 contextualizes your study area\;\n	Find and download relevant spatial 
 data\;\n	Load datasets into QGIS and style them as data layers\;\n	Compose 
 a map that includes a title\, scale bar\, legend\, and north arrow\; 
 and\n	Export this map into formats compatible with print and digital 
 publication.\n\n\nNOTE: The fundamental skills and concepts pertaining to 
 spatial data\, map types\, and the QGIS interface will not be covered 
 during this workshop. Therefore\, prior to the workshop date\, please 
 review our Introduction to Mapmaking with QGIS 
 (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-mapping-intro/)\n\nThis workshop is 
 designed for those with no experience using GIS. It is taught by a graduate 
 student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic 
 methods.\n\nWorkshop link:

 before arriving:\n\nQGIS is a free and open source desktop geographic 
 information system (GIS). It can be installed on Windows\, MacOS\, and 
 Linux using the download instructions here: 
 https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. This workshop will use
