The workshop will cover tools and techniques used to correctly interpret

mapping and analyses. Participants will learn the fundamentals of 
georeferencing best practices through a combination of lectures and 
hands-on exercises, including paper maps, the MaNIS Georeferencing

paid to the specific and unique georeferencing needs and workflows of 
the TCNs and their digitization activities.

iDigBio - Hope to see you there!

Deb
