Spatial Data and Mapping in R

Sign up to develop your skills in R to analyse geospatial data

18 Feb 2026 10 a.m. — 4 p.m.

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!
