Geospatial Visualization with R

This is the staging repository for the geospatial visualization course under development by the GRAPH Courses. The course will be finalized and deployed fully by mid 2024.

Course Lessons

1. Why R for GIS

Explore the reasons why R is a powerful tool for GIS and geospatial data analysis.

2. Thematic Maps

Learn how to create thematic maps that convey specific data themes on geographical maps.

3. Physical Features

Understand how to represent physical features on maps using R.

4. Density Maps

Discover how to visualize data density on maps, useful for population studies and resource distributions.

5. Shapefile Data

Get hands-on experience with shapefile data and how it's used in creating detailed geospatial visualizations.

6. Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS)

Dive into the world of CRS and learn how to manage geospatial data in different coordinate systems.

7. Boundary Data

Explore the use of boundary data in mapping regions, countries, and custom-defined areas.

8. Foreign Objects

Learn about incorporating foreign objects.

9. Understanding UTM

Gain insights into the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) systems for more precise location mapping.

10. Working with Layers

Master the art of layering in geospatial visualizations to create complex and informative maps.
