1 Introduction 2 Objective 3 Data 4 Methods and Data Setup 5 Data Processing 6 Conclusion 7 Reference

    This Wiki page has been created for Advanced Topics in Geographic Information Systems (GEOM4008) student at Carleton University. The main purpose of this tutorial is to introduce and familiarize future users to understand the Raster Terrain analysis with Geographic Analysis Support Analysis Support System (GRASS) tools in QGIS. A lot of scientific observations and research produces raster datasets. Raster are essentially grids of pixels that have a specific value assigned to them.

Objective

The objective of this tutorial would be to introduce the procedure of plugin functionalities of GRASS tools with in QGIS workspace and give some examples of Terrain Analysis modules on our area of interest (AOI) – Ottawa, Ontario.

3 Data

Certain types of raster allow you to gain more insight into the terrain that they represent. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are particularly useful in this regard. In this tutorial we will use DEM to find out more about our AOI.
