[R-sig-Geo] Fwd: Using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing to study disease vector habitat

[Giuseppe Amatulli]

HI,
Apologies for cross-posting:
This is a good opportunity for start to learn GIS and Statistical Analysis
(R) with open-source software.

*Workshop: **Using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing to
study disease vector habitat*

Biotechonology Research Institute
<http://www.kalro.org/Biotechnology_Research_Institute> (BRI) in
collaboration with  Yale University (School of Public Helath
<http://publichealth.yale.edu/>, Institute for Biospehric Studies
<http://yibs.yale.edu/> and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology <http://eeb.yale.edu/>) invites applications for a geospatial
analysis workshop to be held on June  *1 - 6,  2015 *at TRC Campus in
Muguga Kenya.

*The workshop will *introduce participants to Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and satellite-based remote sensing technologies.   Students
will use the provided suite of *open-source software* (GRASS, R, QGIS,
PKTOOLS) to manipulate GIS data and satellite images to create basic
species habitat models with R ( library(hSDM) ) .  There will be a special
focus on identifying and mapping tsetse fly habitat.
