Komm auch Du mal auf ein #OSM- oder #FOSSGIS-Treffen in deiner Stadt vorbei.

Just wrapped up teaching #QGIS for Hydrological Applications to #ErasmusMundus #FloodRiskManagement MSc students at @tudresden's beautiful #Tharandt campus 🍁.

Students completed 7 lessons based on the book I co-authored with @geomenke, earned QGIS certificates, and battled daily Kahoot quizzes for swag and a signed copy of the book! Open source GIS powering future water experts! 💧 #Hydrology #QGISHydro #GIS #OSGeo #PCRaster #IHEDelft
