Presentations

Topic: Downloading Climate R - Terraclimate datasets within QGIS

Time: 28 February 2025 11H00 UTC.

Duration: +/- 60 min

Venue: YouTube Link, Jitsi link

Presenters: Hemed Lungo

Description: The ClimateR Installation Guide for QGIS outlines a streamlined process for integrating R-based climate analysis with QGIS spatial capabilities. Users must first install R 4.x+, RStudio, and QGIS 3.x, then add essential R packages (climateR, terra, sf) via RStudio. Next, the "Processing R Provider" plugin must be installed and enabled in QGIS, followed by proper configuration of R paths in QGIS settings. To verify installation, users should run a test R script from the Processing Toolbox. Common troubleshooting steps include checking path configurations, library installations, version compatibility, and plugin activation. Comprehensive documentation for ClimateR, the QGIS R Processing Plugin, and R Spatial resources provide additional support for users implementing this powerful integration. credit goes to Mike Johnson (ClimateR Package creator)

Description: I want to show you something really cool! What if we combine QGIS, Mergin Maps and GeoNode to create an end to end workflow where data you capture on your mobile seamlessly gets published into your GeoNode maps, dashboards and stories? Come and join me in this session and I will show you how we did just that!

Adding more events

You can do this too! We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world domination and much much more. We encourage language and region-specific huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.

We would really love to see more events offered from our country user groups and broader user base. The content can be at any skill level and in any language you like, and the times can overlap if needed. So please feel free to organise your activities on this wiki page. The QGIS Open Day is also an ideal time to hold virtual country user group meet-ups - please share your activities on the open day schedule, so that even people from outside of your country user group can benefit from your presentations. Contact me (see below) if you need help adding your events to the wiki page.

About QGIS Open Day

Dear QGIS Users

On Friday, 28 February 2025 we will be holding our monthly QGIS Open Day! What is a QGIS Open Day you may be wondering to yourself? It is an initiative to replace the wonderful community meetups we used to hold every six months when times were different. Like our in-person meetings, the event is organised on the principle of self-organisation and community participation.
