Spatial Data and Mapping in R

R has a powerful set of packages for working with geospatial data, including spatial data analysis, statistics, and cartography. This workshop will introduce the spatial data types to R users, demonstrate the GIS analysis functions, and show how to make publication-quality maps. Sample data and tasks will be supplied, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own data and problems.

This meeting is available to members of the N8 universities (Durham, Lancaster, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, and York). Unfortunately, if you are not a member of one of these institutions, we will not be able to accept your registration. Please apply with your N8 university email to ensure your place is not rejected.

Knowledge of R is required and installed on your laptop.

N8 CIR has a Bursary Scheme as part of our commitment to making events accessible to anyone in an N8 university who feels they have a financial barrier to attending. Please see our webpage for more information and to apply for a bursary: .
