Three common options for storage are text files, spreadsheets, and databases. Text files are easiest to create, and work well with version control, but then we would have to build search and analysis tools ourselves. Spreadsheets are good for doing simple analyses, but they don’t handle large or complex data sets well. Databases, however, include […]
Do you want to hone your QGIS skills and work in one of the best Open Source Geographic Information Systems? This workshop is meant for all of you, who want to practice geospatial methods, cartographic designing and get better at working on a full project from start to end, i.e. from where I find my […]
Do you want to become a GIS analyst? Are you tired of clicking or dragging files into the ArcGIS tool windows over and over? Is your GIS analysis taking too long? Are you pulling your hair with ModelBuilder? If you replied yes to any of these questions, the “Introduction to using Arcpy” workshop is for […]
ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based geographic mapping program which allows you to share your creations with anyone, anywhere. This workshop will cover the basics of the ArcGIS Online interface, take you through an example project and ESRI StoryMap covering the Island of Montreal, and allow you to create a StoryMap of your own on a […]
This workshop builds on the first PostGIS workshop the week before. We will explore more geospatial functionality like intersecting data sets, spatial joining or creating buffers. We will look into how to run queries faster. At the end of this workshop you will be able to understand more about the conceptual basics of using PostGreSQL […]
If you are interested in conducting analysis with Planet Labs data within Google Earth Engine (GEE) environment, then this workshop if for you. GEE supports delivery integration from Planet’s Orders API. This implies that there is no need to download and re-upload images when you are moving imagery to your GEE account since a direct […]
This workshop will introduce you to functions and methods of geospatial analysis. In this two session workshop you will first learn about descriptive statistics on geospatial data sets. We will then continue exploring point pattern analysis, cluster analysis and some interpolation methods (Thiessen polygons, inverse distance weighting and kriging) as well as looking into geographically […]
Do you want to learn how you could use R to create a reproducible remote sensing workflow and analysis? This you your workshop. Please make sure you meet the prerequisites. At the end of this workshop, you will be able to search and download satellite images with R (e.g. Landsat8 and Sentinel) work with satellite […]
Have you ever run into waiting for your GIS tool to run on a large geospatial data set? If you have, or if you are just interested in learning about working with spatial databases, this is your workshop! At the end of this workshop you will be able to understand the conceptual basics of using […]
Geopandas are an open source project to make working with geospatial data in Python easier. GeoPandas extends the data types used by pandas to allow spatial operations on geometric types. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to: understand the basics of working with pandas and shapely in Python understand different geospatial […]
