Are you interested in making maps that show connections between places? Do you want to find the quickest or easiest way to get between two points? Do you want to discover potential pathways through elevation changes? Are you interested in using UCLA’s Hoffman2 shared computing cluster to perform GIS research? Are you working with a large or complex data set that is too much for your local machine to handle? If so, this workshop is for you!
In this workshop participants will learn how to create and analyze spatial networks with free, open-source tools. In addition to using these tools on their own computers, participants will learn about the capabilities of the Hoffman2 cluster to perform advanced and computationally demanding GIS work.

Over the course of two hours we will cover the following topics:

• Installing and using PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and pgRouting
• Using existing GIS materials, pgRouting, and Python to create a spatial network
• Use the Hoffman2 cluster to create least-cost-pathing on any digital elevation map which can then be used to create spatial networks

Questions about this workshop can be directed to Ryan Horne (rmhorne@ucla.edu).
