IS&T RCS Tutorial - Introduction to GRASS GIS Processing Engine (Hands-on)

This tutorial will introduce participants into the fundamentals of processing geospatial data using the GRASS GIS engine. We will cover the basics of GRASS GIS, ingesting data into a new project, and visualizing spatial data in a Jupyter Notebook. We will work through a focused example—a viewshed analysis case study—where we will compute and evaluate the visible area from a road. Designed for those new to geospatial analysis or GRASS GIS, this tutorial will demonstrate how GRASS GIS can support spatial data science workflows. No installation is required on your computer. No previous experience with GRASS GIS is necessary, although familiarity with Python may be helpful.
