The GIS for InVEST tutorial series provides step-by-step guidance related to a variety of geographic information system (GIS) topics that are useful for working with InVEST models. These topics are chosen based on our experience doing technical trainings, as well as supporting users on our Community Forum. Each tutorial covers one topic, and each topic is presented in both ArcGIS and QGIS.
