A workshop on Introduction to Using R for Spatial Analysis is being run by the Consumer Data Research Centre and Geographic Data Science Lab at the University of Liverpool and the University of Liverpool in London.

Liverpool: ** LAST FEW SPACES ***

Date: Liverpool: Monday 27th April 2015, 9:30am – 4pm

Venue: Training Room 1, Sydney Jones Library, University of Liverpool

London:

Date: London: Wednesday 29th April 2015, 10am – 4pm

Venue: PC Suite 1, University of Liverpool in London

Instructor: Dr Nick Bearman

This course will cover an introduction to R, how to load and manage spatial data and how to create maps using R. We will look at appropriate ways of using classifications for choropleth maps, using loops in R to create multiple maps and some basic spatial analysis. We will be using R Studio to work with the R environment. By the end of the course you will be able to load data into R, represent it effectively and be able to prepare an output quality map. 

Experience of creating maps in ArcGIS, QGIS or similar is required, but experience of using R is not required. Refreshments and lunch are provided, and numbers on the course are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis.
