Small walk-true of how to import 8-day MODIS satellite images from 2002-2021 in a GRASS GIS temporal database, and how to compute some summary statistics based on these data layers.
Using the Temporal Controller in QGIS to visualize the movements of cattle in the Logone Floodplain in Cameroon. Based on data from the Movebank, a free, online database of animal tracking data.
In this GRASS GIS tutorial we create a habitat suitability map for the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). We combine this with deer densities numbers per deer management unit to create a fine-scale deer density distribution map.
A short note about different methods you can use in GRASS GIS to create a raster layer with as values the area of the categories these cells belong to according to another categorical raster layer.
An explanation how you can use the r.suitability.regions add-on to delineate regions with a minimum area size that consist of contiguous raster cells with a suitability score above a certain user-defined threshold.
Calculating the distance between features (points, polygons, lines) is a common GIS task. Here I will use GRASS GIS to calculate the nearest sighting of mountain lions to Minnesota according to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) database.
Tutorials and user notes on the use of open source tools on the old ecodiv site. The objective is to provide some practical / hands-on examples of (spatial) data handling and analysis that can be done in GRASS GIS and related software tools such as R, QGIS and SQLite
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility ( GBIF) is an international open data infrastructure that allows anyone, anywhere to access data about all types of life on Earth. This tutorial shows how to download, import and visualize GBIF occurrence data in QGIS and (optionally) GRASS GIS.
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility ( GBIF) is an international open data infrastructure that allows anyone, anywhere to access data about all types of life on Earth. This tutorial shows how to download GBIF occurrence data of Ambrosia psilostachya in QGIS and the GBIF Occurrences plugin.
The soil data layers from soilgrid.org provides access to grid layers representing the spatial distribution of soil properties across the globe. This tutorial shows how to use the Python OWSLib package to access the data via the Web Coverage Service (WCS) protocol, the Python rasterio package to inspect and print the data, and GRASS GIS to store the data.
