Cost: Totally FREE!
Prerequisite: No experience necessary!
Presenters: Michele Tobias
About: Do you ever wish you could speed up your spatial analysis – just tell the computer to process the data, then sit back, and let it go? Do you work with big datasets that don’t load well in a graphical GIS like ArcMap or QGIS? Maybe you’ve got a bunch of shapefiles that need to be combined in a specific way? Well, this is the right place for you. This session will provide background and hands-on experience with geospatial databases. Participants will learn how to import data, manage the spatial columns in a database, and run spatial processes like buffer or clip from a database environment.
When: October 22nd, 2018 @ 1:00 – 3:00 pm
Location: DSI Classroom (360 Shields Library)
Prerequisite: No experience necessary!
Presenters: Taylor Nelsen
About: Imaging technologies such as UAVs (drones) or other low altitude imaging procurement systems are valuable data collection tools, especially for high throughput data. Images are rich in data that is often underutilized. This workshop will go over how to extract quantitative data from multi-spectral images, normalize and make use of these measurements. We will be using basic QGIS and R capabilities to explore an example data set from California wheat.
When:
October 15th, 2018 @ 1:00 – 3:00 pm
Location:
DSI Classroom (360 Shields Library)
Cost:
Totally FREE!
Prerequisite:
No experience necessary!
Presenters: Robert Hijmans
About: RSpatial.org, led by Dr. Hijmans, we’ll cover how to process and manipulate spatial data using R. Here is your chance to learn from one of the best! Please join us for this introduction into R Spatial.
