Catalog description

This asynchronous online course aims to provide participants with an introduction to the increasingly powerful and flexible range of tools for working with both vector and raster spatial data in the R environment. The course will review core GIS concepts and the basics of R programming and build skills in raster and vector import and manipulation. The course closely integrates tidyverse functions with GIS tools to develop efficient and intuitive coding. Special emphasis will be placed on visualizing spatial data through developing static and interactive maps. The first few weeks will be spent honing R coding skills, ensuring that you have the necessary understanding of modern data science workflows in R. Offered by Provost's Office .
