R has a powerful set of packages for working with geospatial data, including spatial data analysis, statistics, and cartography. This workshop will introduce the spatial data types to R users, demonstrate the GIS analysis functions, and show how to make publication-quality maps. Sample data and tasks will be supplied, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own data and problems.
This event is open to all currently at N8 universities, including post-graduates, postdocs, researchers, and Research Software Engineers.
Places are limited to 18, so sign up quickly!
