permaculture

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

Learn how to map your land using open source software and freely 
available data. This self-paced course on DVD 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 QGIS.
