| − | ==What is QGIS== |
||
| − | QGIS is an open source software available from [https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html here] that has a multitude of plugins to ensure that the user has the proper tools for their job. In this tutorial the desktop version for Windows will be used. |

| − | ==Data== |
||
| − | The data that was used for this tutorial was taken from the USGS website and is derived from interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) data. The data is projected in the NAD83 Alaska projection, and the original TIF images are 5 metre rasters found [https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/581d2346e4b08da350d5656c here]. |
||

| − | After extracting the data to your working directory, you can add the individual TIF files to QGIS by clicking '''Layer''' » '''Add Layer''' » '''Add Raster Layer''', or by pressing ctrl+shift+r. |

| − | ==Mosaic Process== |
||
| − | In order to mosaic the images properly you will open the DEM(Terrain Models) option by clicking '''Raster''' » '''Analysis''' » '''DEM(Terrain Models)'''. |
