Introduction to spatial analysis of ecological data using R (ISPE01)

https://www.prstatistics.com/course/introduction-to-spatial-analysis-of-ecological-data-using-r-ispe01/

This course will be delivered by Dr. Jakub Nowosad from the 29th July - 2nd
August in Glasgow City Center

Course overview:

The aim of the course is to introduce you to a spatial data processing,
analysis, and visualization capabilities of the R programming language. It
will teach a range of techniques using a mixture of lectures, computer
exercises and case studies.

By the end of the course participants should:
1) Understand the basic concepts of spatial data analysis
2) Know R’s spatial capabilities
3) Understand how to import a range of spatial data sources into R
4) Be confident with using R’s command-line interface (CLI) for spatial
data processing
5) Be able to perform a range of attribute operations (e.g. subsetting and
joining), spatial operations (e.g. distance relations, topological
relations), and geometry operations (e.g. clipping, aggregations)
6) Understand coordinate reference systems (CRSs), be able to decide which
CRS to use, and how to reproject spatial data
7) Know how to visualize the results of a spatial analysis in the form of
static and interactive maps
8) Have the confidence to apply spatial analysis skills to their own
projects
