This map was begun by following a tutorial, then extended. The tutorial was to use a change assessment dataset to identify urban growth patterns in the city of Johannesburg from 2014 to 2018. Once done, I added OSM features including major highways and rails. I calculated the raster area for the 3 classes and added a pie chart. Finally, I designed the print layout.
Following a tutorial, I used a raster layer with land cover classes and calculated the area of each class within a national park.

Using a raster grid of daily maximum temperature and also a US counties shapefile, I calculated the average value within each polygon using the zonal statistics tool. The result is a thematic map which shows US counties by maximum daily temperature.

Description: This map shows the distribution of surface vegetation in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. An NVDI analysis was done using Landsat 8 images. The resulting raster was then made into a vector grid by overlaying a grid and using the zonal statistics tool. Finally, the primary roads and motorways are OSM data.
Tools: QGIS
Data: Landsat 8, OSM
