We will be using the following software in this course:

• QGIS
• Adobe Creative Suite
• Earth Engine

QGIS is open source and free to install on your laptop. Adobe is not open source, but as a Middlebury student it is free for you to install on your personal laptop. (Please install Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign). Earth Engine is free and cloud-based. You just need to sign up for an account.

Though QGIS and Adobe CS are both available on computers in the Geography Dept computer lab (MBH 632), installing this software on your personal computer will give you greater flexibility should you need to quarantine or should our modality shift abruptly. It will also allow you to use class meeting time to work on your projects.
