Welcome to my GIS portfolio. My name is Heidi and I am studying Human Geography and Sociology at University College Utrecht. During a course I took on GIS, I got the opportunity to learn to visualize and analyze geographic and societal data. This website serves as a portfolio to showcase a selection of maps I created during this course.
Geographical information systems (GIS) is a way of analyzing and interpreting spatial data and maps. I learned to use four different types of software, that enabled me to create a wide variety of maps. This software includes QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, Esri Online and Google Earth Engine.
