Introduction to GIS and spatial analysis with R (GISR01)

https://www.prstatistics.com/course/introduction-to-gis-and-spatial-analysis-with-r-gisr01/

This course will be delivered by Luca Nelli form the 22nd - 26th April 2019
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.

Intended Audience:
This workshop is aimed at students and researchers who already have a basic
knowledge of R and want to explore its GIS potential for ecological
application. The skills learnt can also be applied by management and
environmental professionals in government and industry.
