Spatial Data Science for Professionals: Bootcamp at Berkeley in March 2016 Today’s marketplace needs trained spatial data analysts who can:
- compile disparate spatial dataset from multiple sources; - use easily available and open technology for robust data analysis, sharing, and publication; - apply core spatial analysis methods; - and utilize visualization tools to communicate with project managers, the public, and other stakeholders. With this Spatial Data Science Bootcamp for professionals, you will learn how to integrate modern Spatial Data Science techniques into your workflow through hands-on exercises that leverage today's latest open source and cloud/web-based technologies. We’re pleased to announce that the GIF is partnering with the College of Natural Resources International and Executive Programs (IEP) to present our second Spatial Data Science Bootcamp for Professionals.This 3-day intensive hands-on training will be held March 23-25, 2016 at UC Berkeley. The Spatial Data Science Bootcamp is designed for the geospatial professional who wants to stay current in today’s dynamic world of spatial data. GIS professionals, spatial data researchers, scientists, and students will learn about the cutting edge of spatial data science and get hands-on practice using today’s latest open source analysis, visualization and database tools. This intensive hands-on training will help you to expand your geospatial toolkit from the desktop to new open source and cloud/web-based technologies.
