NOTE: This is a work in progress, and subject to change.
Purpose
This tutorial will demonstrate how to use multiple tools within QGIS in order to run a fire risk analysis, manipulating vector and raster data, along with the final output of maps. This tutorial uses tools from QGIS' advanced interface, which include QGIS, GRASS GIS, and plugins that you will need internet connection for in order to download them into QGIS. Major tools that will be used in this tutorial include: Build Virtual Raster Catalog - QGIS, Clipper - QGIS, Merge Vector Layers - QGIS, Raster Calculator - QGIS, Aspect and Slope - GRASS GIS, Reclass - GRASS GIS, Heatmap - Plugin, along with other tools.
It is recommended that you have some knowledge of a GIS before attempting this analysis, this is an advanced tutorial.
