Geospatial Data Handling in R

Content

Geospatial Data Handling in R

  • Properties of geographical data
  • Classes for geospatial data in R
  • Simple features data in R
  • Georeferencing
  • Using R as a GIS


Lesson competencies

  • Importing vector-based geospatial data such as shapefile, kml, etc into R using appropriate sf function(s).
  • Converting a simple feature data frame into spatial objection data frame of sp.
  • Importing raster-based geospatial data such as jpg into R using apporpriate raster function(s).
  • Performing georeferencing and spatial transformation using sf functions
  • Performing vector-based geoprocessing function(s) using sf.
  • Performing raster-based map algebra and cartographic analysis using functions fro mraster package.


Must do

  • Read Chapter 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 of Gimond, M. (2018) Intro to GIS and Spatial Analysis [1]
  • Complete the entire course of Spatial Analysis in R with sf and raster of Datacamp.
  • Complete Lesson 2: Point and polygon data, sub-topics on Introduction to sp objects, sp and S4, and More sp classes and methods of Datacamp course on Working with Geospatial Data in R.
