R Geospatial Fundamentals

Datahub Binder

This is the repository for D-Lab's R Geospatial Fundamentals workshop.

Geospatial data are an important component of data visualization and analysis in the social sciences, humanities, and elsewhere. The R programming language is a great platform for exploring these data and integrating them into your research. This workshop focuses on fundamental operations for reading, writing, manipulating and mapping vector data, which encodes location as points, lines and polygons.

    • Geospatial data structures (the sf package)
    • Basic plotting (base::plot and the ggplot3 package)
    • Managing coordinate reference systems (CRS)
    • Advanced plotting (the tmap package)
    • Map overlays
  • Part II: Spatial analysis
    • Spatial measurement queries
    • Spatial relationship queries
    • Buffer analysis
    • Spatial and non-spatial joins
    • Aggregation
    • Continued mapping practice
  • Part III: Raster data
    • Raster concepts
    • Raster data structures (the raster package)
    • Mapping with raster and vector data
    • Spatial analysis of raster and vector data
    • Raster reclassification
    • Raster stacks and raster algebra

Getting started

Please follow the notes in participant-instructions.md.

Assumed participant background

We assume that participants have working familiarity with the R language, including the topics covered in our R-Fundamentals workshop materials (though participants without this have still reported useful learning about geospatial concepts).

If you would like a refresher on R, you could review that workshop's materials, or look to other online resources such as the Base R Cheat Sheet or the Quick R website.

Technology requirements

Please bring a laptop with the following:
