Originally part of a workshop at the 2018 River Rally, titled "Using R for Geospatial Mapping and Dynamic Visualization"
It has since been updated and includes additional content, while still retaining the core of the workshop.
The workshop at the 2018 River Rally demonstrated how to use R/ RStudio to work with spatial data for mapping and visualization.
No prior experience is necessary, participants use the free & open source R & RStudio programs to:
- become more proficient at data management/organization
- download spatial and tabular data
- load, aggregate and summarize data
- perform spatial operations commonly used in GIS programs (e.g., intersect, clip, buffer),
- plot and map data in both static (printable) and dynamic forms you can share or post online.
