Introduction to Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this one day course we will explore how to use R to import, manage and process spatial data. We will also cover the process of making choropleth maps, as well as some basic spatial analysis. Finally, we will cover the use of loops to make multiple maps quickly and easily, one of the major benefits of using a scripting language to make maps, rather than traditional graphic point-and-click interface.
Confident Spatial Analysis and Statistics in R & GeoDa
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this two part course we will show you how to prepare and conduct spatial analysis on a variety of spatial data in R, including a range of spatial overlays and data processing techniques. We will also cover how to use GeoDa to perform exploratory spatial data analysis, including making use of linked displays and measures of spatial autocorrelation and clustering.
One-to-One Training Sessions
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
Nick runs one-to-one sessions where you can get dedicated time to help you with your GIS analysis or mapping problems. This can really get you started on tackling the GIS element of your project, or help you through the sticky analysis stages. You can come to us in Cornwall, we can meet you in London or Liverpool, or we can come to your home or office.
Introduction to GIS, Geospatial Data and Spatial Analysis
Short course (Colchester) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this week long (17.5 hours) course at the Essex Summer School, you will gain an in-depth knowledge of spatial data, and how it can be used in a variety of social science applications. You will learn how spatial data is structured, how and where it can be used and how and where it cannot be used. By the end of the course you will be able to apply the skills you have learnt in your own area of study, and there will be time during the course provided to start this with me available to help.
Using Spatial Data from Social Media
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this one-day course we will consider how data from different social media platforms could be used for spatial analysis. With social media now generating significant volumes of data it is a great resource for research in a wide range of different social science areas. We will primarily focus on Twitter data explore what spatial elements there are within the data and discuss how best to show and analyse these in a GIS. We will also cover a quick recap on spatial data.
Introduction to QGIS: Spatial Data and Spatial Analysis
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this four session course you will learn what GIS is, how it works and how you can use it to create maps and perform spatial analysis. We assume no prior knowledge of GIS and you will learn how to get data into the GIS, how to produce maps using your own data and what you can and cannot do with spatial data. You will also learn how to work with a variety of different data sources and types (including XY coordinate data and address or postcode data) and using spatial overlays, point in polygon analysis and spatial joins.
Exploring, visualising and mapping data: an R course for 15 beginners
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
Our three day course is suitable for everyone: academics, students and public sector and commercial professionals. We introduce you to R, one of the most frequently-used tools in academic research. It is a coding language that gives you complete control over your data and provides the freedom you need to do your data exploration, cleaning, analysis and visualisation all in one place. It is free, easy to use and supported by an international network of experts who will answer questions posted online by anyone. We make R simple, straightforward and exciting, invariably converting those who believe that coding is not for them, while increasing the capabilities of those with some experience.
Advanced GIS Training Methods: IUC and K-means Clustering
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In these two morning sessions, we will discuss the Internet User Classification and Retail Centre Typology datasets from the CDRC and the methods used to create them. K-means clustering is used to create many different data sets, including the geodemographic classification, OAC. We will discuss the IUC and RCT datasets, how and why they were created, and what they can be used for. We will also discuss and show you how to use the K-means clustering method to create your own classification, using IUC as an example.
Introduction to QGIS: Understanding and Presenting Spatial Data
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this two part introductory course we will give you an overview on how GIS works, and what we can and can’t do with spatial data. We assume no prior knowledge of GIS and will explain how to get data into the GIS as well as how to produce maps using your own data.
Confident Spatial Analysis in QGIS
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
This intermediate two part course will develop your skills of using spatial data, including collating data from a variety of sources including XY coordinate data and address or postcode based data. We will also cover using spatial overlays, point-in-polygon analysis and spatial joins.
Web Mapping
Short course (London, Cornwall, and Liverpool) by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA
In this one-day course we will explore Web Mapping and show you how to use a variety of different tools to display and communicate spatial information We will have a recap of the basics of spatial data and focus on how we get a variety of different types of data into web mapping platforms We will review some of the different platforms available and spend most of the time looking at the MapBox platform.
