About the event
Organized by SFU Library and SFU Department of Geography, GIS Day 2024 will be held in person in the Library and will feature guest presenters from SFU, lightning talks, and workshops that will appeal to those new to GIS and those who are interested in seeing how GIS is used in research across disciplines. It is also a great opportunity for SFU faculty and student researchers interested in GIS to connect with each other and learn!
As part of GIS day events, join us in the morning for presentations and lightning talks. For the afternoon workshops, scroll down to register separately.

Afternoon sessions
Workshop 1 (1:30pm to 4pm): 3D Printing Spatial Data Workshop
Workshop 2 (2pm to 4pm): Mapping Environmental Exposures: Spatial Analysis of Environmental Data in R
Join us for an in-person workshop to learn how to wrangle and plot spatial environmental data and conduct basic exposure assessments using both vector and raster data!
The environmental conditions that people are exposed to, such as levels of air pollution or greenspace, are largely dependent on where they live. As such, the analysis of spatial environmental data is a critical tool for understanding how environmental conditions vary across space and time and identifying who is exposed to what. This workshop will provide an introduction on how to conduct analysis of spatial environmental data using R packages and RStudio and publicly available datasets. Register here for this afternoon workshop.
