QGreenland Beginner's Tutorial Series - Session 5: Processing Toolbox and Data Analysis
QGreenland is a free mapping tool to support interdisciplinary Greenland-focused research, teaching, decision making, and collaboration. To learn more go to https://qgreenland.org
The beginner's tutorial series contains 7 videos to familiarize users with both GIS and the QGreenland data package. This 1-hour series was adapted from the popular beginner workshops designed for those who have little or no prior experience working with GIS.
The following objectives are covered in Session
00:00 Locate and open the processing toolbox
01:25 Select by attribute in a vector layer NOTE: in v2.0, you'll need to first use the field calculator to convert the population field from a string into an integer. See the read the docs link below for more details.
06:48 Run basic statistics on a vector attribute field including sum, mean, and range
10:15 Calculate the surface volume area of a raster layer

Note:
The "Populated places" layer referred to in this video has been updated and moved from "Places/Community map (crowd-sourced)" to the root of the "Places/" layer group in QGreenland v3.
This updated "Populated places" layer has a "Population 2016" attribute that should be used instead of the "population" attribute indicated in the video.
