[GRASS-user] need a data set for spatial analysis in GRASS

GRASS GRASS user

hi list,
I am trying to teach spatial analysis to a group of students.
I already have ArcGIS but donot have any data set to use with it.
I wish to give the students an exposure to GRASS and spatial analysis
using GRASS. Could anyone suggest a good tutorial / resource & a data
set for use with GRASS from the spatial analysis point of view.
Plz also suggest what are the various modules available for spatial analysis
in grass. Example :- rst / idw for surface interpolation. What is for krigging ?
what is there for overlay and buffer analysis of rasters and vectors.
Thanks

You might have a look at the sample data downloads from the GRASS web site.

You also might look at the tutorials section for ideas.

Helena and me are working on a new spatial data set which
we'll use in the upcoming 3rd edition of the GRASS book.

A preliminary version is already available from:
http://mpa.itc.it/grasstutor/data_menu3rd.phtml

Some minutes ago I have uploaded a new version with lots
of metadata fixed.

The list of available data is now also there:

More to come,
Markus
