Working with Geospatial Data by Ian Cook

Our own Ian Cook will talk about working with Geospatial data for analysis, including:

• What spatial data is

• Where you can find spatial data to work with

• The challenges of working with spatial data

• Key facilities R provides for loading, manipulating, and analyzing spatial data.

Demonstrations will be in R and Spotfire, with an open discussion for others to talk about how they work with spatial data using their preferred tools.
