Presentation Overview Background Aims and Objectives Methodology

Practical skills: Land surveying Geomatics Topography Cartography GIS GPS Photogrammetry Town planning Ecole Supérieure des Géomètres et Topographes About 100 first year students 10,000 students on the campus Paris Le Mans Background

The Project : aims and objectives Mapping mashup project Get ideas Show on a map the oceans parameters evolution during the oil drill

Methodology Quantum GIS Open Source GIS Software GIS functionalities view and explore data or compose maps create, edit, manage and export data analyze data publish maps on the internet Become familiar with GIS software Main steps :AnalysisOutputData Input

Deepwater horizon drilling rig localisation °N °W AnalysisOutputData Input

Data organisation : Layer organisation Tile organisation Tree-structured organisation Raster layer (georeference information) Vector layer (river, road, airport) Attribute table attached to each layer Attribute of each layer element (name, coordinate, size…) AnalysisOutputData input

Using an interpolation plugin : Useful to draw isolines or contour lines Data cartographic representation AnalysisOutputData Input

Conclusions Understand Open source GIS tools for data mining and analysis. Prepare report on the work done Future work includes looking into gvSIG for customization
