Join MEASURE Evaluation on May 31 at 9:30 a.m. EDT for a one-hour webinar introducing the Spatial Quality and Anomalies Diagnosis (SQUAD) Tool, now compatible with both ArcGIS and QGIS. The webinar will be led by John Spencer, senior geographic information systems (GIS) technical specialist with MEASURE Evaluation; Becky Wilkes, GIS specialist with MEASURE Evaluation; and Veronica Escamilla, PhD, GIS research associate with MEASURE Evaluation.

The SQUAD Tool runs in ArcGIS or QGIS to assess potential anomalies in a large spatial data set. In this webinar, the tool’s creators will discuss the reasoning behind the tool, the process of creating it, and the types of data it can assess. Examples of data SQUAD can work with are master facility lists and geo-referenced survey data. The webinar will include a demonstration of the tool and discussion of the results.

Register to attend the webinar.
