Introduction to Spatial Data and Using R as a GIS

Thursday 1st January 1970, 1:00am

In this one day online course (taught over two mornings) we will explore how to use R to import, manage and process spatial data.

We will also cover the process of making choropleth maps, as well as some basic spatial analysis.

Finally, we will cover the use of loops to make multiple maps quickly and easily, one of the major benefits of using a scripting language to make maps, rather than traditional graphic point-and-click interface.

This course is being run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences
