Introduction to GIS and spatial analysis with R (GISR01) This course will interest anyone working with marine mammal spatial data. https://www.prstatistics.com/course/introduction-to-gis-and-spatial-analysis... This course will be delivered by Luca Nelli from the 22nd - 26th of April in Glasgow City Centre Course overview: This course aims at providing audience with the essential tools for working with spatially explicit data within the statistical environment R, with particular reference to ecological applications (e.g. species distribution models, resources and habitat selection, home range analyses…). Practical sessions will primarily use the free statistical software, R – prior experience (even if some practice before you come) will be useful. Example data will be provided but participants may also bring their own data. Course program Monday 22nd – Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Introduction to GIS: overview of main softwares. File formats. Coordinate reference systems. Types and structure of spatial objects in R Generating and manipulating spatial objects, projections and transformations. Overview of main libraries for spatial objects: sp, sf, rgeos, rgdal, leaflet, mapview, raster. Tuesday 23rd – Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Introduction to raster data. Plot and visualisation of raster. Informative and non-informative rasters. Terrain tools. RasterStack. Operations with raster. Wednesday 24th – Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Vector data: from simple points to SpatialPointsDataFrame (and SpatialLinesDataFrame and SpatialPolygonsDataFrame). How to import and manipulate vector data. Plot and visualisation of vectors. Geoprocessing tools. Overlay, clip, intersection, union, difference. Proximity analyses. Conversion tools (vector to raster and viceversa). Thursday 25th – Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 More advanced GIS analyses in R: How to interact vector and raster. Cropping and masking spatial objects. Zonal statistics and landscape metrics. Extracting covariate data and other simple GIS operations in R. Friday 26th – Classes from 09:30 to 16:00 Combining QGIS and R. Plotting interactive maps with leaflet and mapview.
