Introduction to Geospatial Raster and Vector Data with R

Become a high-skilled geospatial professional

In this training workshop, organized by the Center of Expertise in Big Geodata Science (CRIB), participants will embark on a journey through the fundamentals of geospatial data analysis using R. With its excellent statistical capabilities and a huge package ecosystem, R supports transparent data analysis workflows with an emphasize on reproducible research. Geospatial R packages, such as sf, raster, and leaflet, enable complex geospatial studies and striking visualizations that facilitate getting insights from geospatial datasets. Join us to learn how to use R to access, analyze, and visualize spatial data!

The workshop covers the following aspects:

Participants must have access to a computer with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on. They should have a few specific software packages installed, see the setup instructions for the details.

Date

21-22 August 2024 (One and a half day training)

Venue

ITC Building, Room LA 2301
Hallenweg 8, 7522 NH Enschede

Prerequisites

The participants do not need prior knowledge of the R packages this workshop teaches. However, we expect the participants to have a working knowledge of R and a basic understanding of geospatial data types and formats.

Registration

Registration is required to attend the workshop, which is open to all UT staff and students

The capacity is limited to 25 people. In case of more registrations, the participants will be selected considering the balance between staff and students with a priority to ITC staff and students.

Please register by filling out the registration form until 12 August 2024.

Registration confirmation will be sent to the participants on 14 August 2024.
