Geoprocessing Course
This course equips you with essential geoprocessing techniques for geography and geology. Learn to prepare clean spatial datasets, generate hydrological and terrain layers from DEMs, reclassify land use data, perform quality checks, and automate repeatable workflows with QGIS, GDAL, and Python tools for reliable analysis in Kenyan contexts.

Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Prepare hydrology-ready DEMs by preprocessing, filling sinks, and deriving slope, aspect, and streams.
- Conduct spatial data quality control: fix geometries, align rasters, and standardise CRS.
- Reclassify land cover data from raw LULC into urban, agriculture, and natural categories.
- Set up study areas by selecting boundaries, clipping datasets, and organising folder structures.
- Build automated GIS workflows scripting batch tasks in QGIS, GDAL, or Python for efficiency.
