Using QGIS for organising, visualising and publishing in situ observations, drone mosaics and satellite imagery of Arctic sea ice
This report documents how QGIS was installed and used at NERSC in the Digital Arctic Shipping project to organise, visualise and publish sea ice data from several sources. QGIS is an open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) that is available on all major computer platforms, and maintained by...
