CGA-created GIS Tutorials
Use the self-study materials from the CGA’s series of live training workshops which include GIS Basics, Wrangling Data, Spatial Analysis, Google Earth, Remote Sensing, GPS, and Making Google Maps Mashups, Database development and QGIS. Learn how to do many tasks in ArcMap (YouTube video). Browse other video tutorials on the Harvard CGA Youtube Channel.
Graduate School of Design
The graduate school of design has a collection of manuals and tutorials concerned with: gathering and handling GIS data, cartographic and analytical techniques, and three dimensional modeling. Some of the resources discussed in this collection are available exclusively to GSD students, but most of it is applicable anywhere. Learn more about Harvard’s use of GIS in the Graduate School of Design.

Title: History of Food and Weight Gain in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort (View the flyer)
Abstract: Existing evidence linking BMI to neighborhood characteristics, especially proximity to food establishments, has been inconclusive. We examined this relationship in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort over nearly 40 years, by linking a longitudinal record of body weight to neighborhoods of residence and novel historical data on food establishments that accounted for both residential mobility and the appearance and disappearance of food establishments. In this talk, I will discuss the methodologies we used for this study, including the use of GIS and multilevel analysis, as well as the results. Contrary to much prior research, we did not find a consistent relationship between body weight and neighborhood characteristics.

Title: Remote Sensing Applications in Urban Studies( View the flyer)
Abstract: Airborne and satellite remote sensors can collect earth observation image data over large areas frequently and repetitively. Lower spatial resolution satellite images have been available for a long time, but are not sufficient to extract detailed urban features. Recently, many new sensors have been developed with very high spatial resolution, which allows us to better extract detailed physical and spatial information over urban areas. However because of the complexity of the 3D structure of urban landscape, it is difficult to automatically map urban features from the high resolution images. In this presentation, we illustrate our newly developed remote sensing applications on the extraction of the urban features, such as urban land use and land cover types, road networks, buildings and trees. These remote sensing products are potentially useful for urban GIS updating, climate modeling, hazard study and environmental planning.

Under Vine visualizes wine market data from the 1970’s through today—emphasizing the shift from European centrism to the rapid expansion of global trade networks following the 1976 Judgement of Paris during which American wines outperformed their French counterparts in a blind tasting.
Created by Robert Gerard Pietrusko of Warning Office (warning-office.org) and Stewart Smith of Stewdio (stewd.io).
Designed using the Bronson framework; a data animation tool created by Stewdio and Warning Office.
Running time approximately five minutes.
Premiered at SFMOMA’s autumn 2010 exhibition How Wine Became Modern: Design + Wine 1976 to Now.
