Topic: spatial analysis

Create reproducible maps and perform GIS operations with R and the terra package. Working with raster and vector data, participants develop static, thematic, animated and interactive maps, then apply projections, clipping, resampling, buffers, intersections, zonal statistics and distance calculations. Environmental, geological and biodiversity examples connect visualization with spatial analysis, and participants may bring their own data. 2027-01-11–2027-01-15, 15:00–18:00 daily, Europe/Berlin (CET, UTC+01:00).
