Introduction to R for Geospatial Raster Data - Data Carpentry Workshop

At the Center for Spatial Data Science (CSDS), we think spatially about research problems.We develop state-of-the-art methods for geospatial analysis; implement them through open sourcesoftwaretools; apply them to policy-relevantresearchin the social sciences; and disseminate them througheducationand support to a growing worldwide community of over 270,000 spatial analysts.Locally, we are building aspatial communityat theUniversity of Chicago. CSDS is an initiative of theDivision of Social Sciencesand part of the UChicago's investment in computational social science. As of July 2016, CSDS succeeded the GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation at Arizona State University.

Note: this workshop is part of the University of Chicago Geographical Science Symposium, taking place May 29-31. RSVP to the symposium <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/440687286476140" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here!</a><a href="https://carpentries.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Carpentries</a> teach foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide. This hands-on Data Carpentry workshop is the second Carpentries workshop sponsored by the Center for Spatial Data Science in 2019. It is aimed at researchers who want to learn the basics of programming with geospatial raster data. The workshop is co-taught by Angela Li and Marynia Kolak of the CSDS.The workshop is for anyone who has spatial raster data they want to analyze, and no prior computational experience is required. Our intended audience is graduate and postdoctorate students and faculty at UChicago in all fields who work with spatial raster data in their day-to-day.Topics to be covered include:<ul><li>Introduction to R, data types, and data frames (morning)</li><li>Working with raster data in R (afternoon)</li></ul>Workshop will include short tutorials alternating with practical exercises, and all instruction will be done via live coding. Participants should bring their own laptops to work on.Please visit the <a href="https://angela-li.github.io/2019-05-31-chicago/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">workshop website</a> for more details on the curriculum and pre-installation requirements.Have questions about this workshop?
