GIS for InVEST Tutorial Series: 

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.

Using the tutorials:

Since these are hands-on tutorials, in order to get the most out of them, we recommend following along in your own GIS session. Sample data is provided with each individual tutorial, so before beginning each tutorial, please download the associated data and unzip it on your computer. Also, it’s very important that you have a recent version of either QGIS or ArcGIS installed and verify that it’s working properly.
