The volume and variety of geospatial data that can be used to describe objects, events, and phenomena that have a location on the surface of the Earth has grown exponentially over the past decades. This course equips participants with the skills to acquire, manage, and share all forms of geospatial data (GPS tracking, photography, satellite imagery, sensor networks, and social media messages) and the accompanying metadata using a variety of proprietary and open-source database management systems and tools.
This course also equips participants with the skills required to use programming languages and applications – such as JavaScript, Jupyter Notebooks, Python, and APIs – to build custom geospatial tools and products across a large variety of disciplines and application domains.
Furthermore, this course equips participants with the skills required to choose and implement the spatial analysis and modeling approaches that can be used to turn spatiotemporal data into actionable information for clarifying opportunities and solving problems across a large number and variety of disciplines and application domains.
Participants in the course will be able to:
