About The Course

This course builds practical geospatial analysis skills for working with vector and raster data, coordinate systems, spatial joins, visualization, and basic spatial statistics. Participants learn through real-world datasets and scenarios using modern GIS, coding, database, and earth observation tools.

The module is offered through a mix of theory and practical using real-world datasets and scenarios. Modules on offer irrespective of package are;

  • Introduction to geospatial analysis
  • Installing required packages
  • Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS)
  • Reading and writing spatial data
  • Working with vector data
  • Working with raster data
  • Spatial data manipulation
  • Spatial joins and aggregations
  • Visualization of spatial data
  • Basic spatial statistics
  • Practical use cases

The packages available are ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, R, Google Earth Engine, Mapbox/Leaflet, SNAP, PostGIS.
