This workshop is the first one of the two-part series on using Python for fundamental geospatial analysis and visualization. After this workshop, you will be able to:
Recognize different forms of geospatial data and coordinate reference system (CRS).
Use GeoPandas and matplotlib libraries to map and analyze spatial data.
Apply more advanced Python libraries for interactive visualization.
Choose domain-specific spatial datasets to create your own maps.
What You Should Know First
D-Lab's Python Fundamentals and Python Data Wrangling, or equivalent knowledge.
Software Requirements
Installation Instructions for Python Anaconda
Cloud Alternative
Is Python not working on your laptop? Attend the workshop anyway, we can provide you with a cloud-based solution until you figure out the problems with your local installation.
