permaculture

["Andrea S. Laliberte" <andrea.laliberte@earthmetrics.com>]

Learn how to map your land using open source software and freely 
available data. Previously offered on CD, this new online version of the 
course is all video-based to allow the student to follow the tutorials 
with ease. The course introduces digital mapping tools and techniques 
(Geographic Information Systems or GIS), and how small landowners and 
permaculture designers can use these tools with freely available data 
for site planning. The course provides an excellent introduction to GIS 
for any small landowner interested in visualizing terrain of the land, 
planning layout of buildings and gardens, and using GIS maps in Google 
Earth. You will learn about freely available aerial photos, topographic 
data, soil maps, and other spatial layers, and how to view and 
manipulate the data using the open source GIS software Quantum GIS.
