Intro to MATLAB (Clara Llebot Lorente)
Tuesday, July 19, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., via Zoom
This is an introductory workshop to Matlab for beginners. We will follow a shortened version of the Software Carpentry lesson “Programming with Matlab.” We will talk about reading data with Matlab and organize it in variables, vectors, and matrices. We will perform some basic operations on the data (mean, maximums, minimums) and will create some visualizations and save them. We will talk about writing Matlab scripts and functions, and we will write loops and conditional statements. You will be required to set up Matlab on your own computer before the workshop begins, as there will not be workshop time dedicated to doing so. For information about setting up your computer for the workshop visit Programming with MATLAB: Setup page.
Intro to GIS: QGIS Basics (Adam Lindsley)
Tuesday, July 19, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m., via Zoom
Need to use geospatial data in your research? Learn how to load tabular, raster, and vector geospatial data, add base maps and other online services, extract relevant data, and author basic maps. In this workshop we'll use QGIS, an open-source software suite compatible with Windows, MacOS, and Linux/UNIX. If you're already familiar with other GIS software this training may be useful to you, but assumes no prior knowledge.
This workshop is provided via Zoom only; you must install QGIS on your own machine prior to the event to follow along. Registration is required, and Zoom links and passwords will be emailed to registrants the day before the workshop.

Intermediate QGIS: Spatial Analysis (Adam Lindsley)
Tuesday, July 26, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m., via Zoom
Now that you've picked up the basics of QGIS, learn how to manipulate and analyze your data. In Intermediate QGIS, we'll use the available spatial analysis tools to generate new insights into the material covered in the Basics workshop. We'll use the raster calculator, join fields in databases, create hillshades, and make more complex, finished maps. This workshop builds on the QGIS Basics workshop and may be difficult to follow if you have not taken Basics.
This workshop is provided via Zoom only; you must install QGIS on your own machine prior to the event to follow along. Registration is required, and Zoom links and passwords will be emailed to registrants the day before the workshop.
Introduction to Git - Beginner (Clara Llebot Lorente) **Registration Required**
Wednesday, July 27, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., via Zoom
This workshop is an introduction to version control systems with Git. Version control systems are tools that keep track of the changes made on a document, and help version and merge files. They allow the user to decide which changes make up the next version, and keep useful data about them. Version control systems are usually used by developers and people who write code, but are very useful also for people working with documents in general. It is especially helpful for collaborative work with more than one person working on the same file. The Intro to Git workshop has two parts: beginner and advanced. Participants are welcome to come to only the beginner, only the advanced, or both. The beginner workshop is designed for people who have never used Git or a version control system before, and want to learn more about what version control systems can do for them and their research. It will be a hands-on workshop where we will create a repository, record changes to files, create a GitHub account, and synchronize the local and remote repositories. This workshop uses the command line to learn git, but no previous experience using command line is necessary. Please set up Git on your own computer before the start of the workshop, as there will not be time allocated to do this during the workshop. For more information and set-up instructions visit Oregon State University Introduction to Git Workshop page.
