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:

Understand the basic concepts of spatial data analysis
Know R’s spatial capabilities
Understand how to import a range of spatial data sources into R
Be confident with using R’s command-line interface (CLI) for spatial
data processing
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)
Understand coordinate reference systems (CRSs), be able to decide
which CRS to use, and how to reproject spatial data
Know how to visualize the results of a spatial analysis in the form of
static and interactive maps
Have the confidence to apply spatial analysis skills to their own projects

ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE – Includes breakfast, lunch, refreshments and
welcome dinner Monday evening. Self-catering facilities are available
in the accommodation. Accommodation is approximately a 6-minute walk
from the PR informatics head office. Accommodation is multiple
occupancy (max 3-4 people) single sex en-suite rooms. Arrival Sunday
