QGreenland Beginner's Tutorial Series - Session 5: Processing Toolbox and Data Analysis
QGreenland is a free mapping tool that supports interdisciplinary Greenland-focused research, teaching, decision-making, and collaboration.
The Beginner’s Tutorial Series contains seven videos designed to familiarize users with both GIS and the QGreenland data package. This one-hour series was adapted from the popular beginner workshops for those with little or no prior GIS experience.
Session Objectives:
- 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 to 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 referenced 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.
The updated “Populated places” layer includes a “Population 2016” attribute that should be used instead of the “population” attribute mentioned in the video.
