Geospatial Analytics

In this course, participants learn the essentials of Geospatial Analytics. We start with an introduction to Geospatial Analytics and its core concepts. We discuss the key components of Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS), the types of geospatial data and the use of external data sources. Next, we show how to work with spatial data in R. We begin with how to import spatial data in R and we zoom in on map projections and geocoding. Then, we learn how to build static and interactive maps and conclude with basic spatial operation and manipulations. This course ends with 3 real-life cases that apply the concepts from the first two chapters of the course.

The course features a little over 1 hour of video lectures, multiple choice questions, and various references to interesting resources. A certificate signed by the instructors is provided upon successful completion.
