Tutorials

In collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Asheville's National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center (NEMAC), we developed tutorials that teach basic, intermediate and advanced GIS concepts and spatial analysis tools through weather and climate data. These tutorials are freely available and can be downloaded below.
