Abstract
Maps can be a powerful way to communicate your research to wider audiences. Traditionally, you would need to use a specific geographic information system (GIS) tool for mapping. R is now a widely used open source software platform for working with spatial data thanks to its powerful analysis and visualisation packages.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working with geospatial data in R. You’ll create high-quality, informative maps - that look great too!
If you want to participate in the exercises, please bring a laptop to the session. There is no need to install anything in advance. Some basic prior knowledge is helpful but not essential for attending this session.
