Introduction to Geospatial Raster and Vector Data with Python

eScience Center Digital Skills Programme

This workshop introduces a set of tools from the Python ecosystem and shows how to use them to perform practical geospatial data analysis.

Netherlands eScience Center

The workshop will take place at Science Park 402, 1098 XH Amsterdam. Please note that lunch and drinks at the end of the workshop are included.Python is one of the most popular programming languages for data science and analytics, with a large and steadily growing community in the field of Earth and Space Sciences. In this workshop, we will help participants with a working knowledge of Python to familiarize with the world of geospatial raster and vector data. We will introduce a set of tools from the Python ecosystem and show how these can be used to carry out practical geospatial data analysis tasks. In particular, we will consider satellite images and public geo-datasets and demonstrate how these can be opened, explored, manipulated, combined, and visualized using Python.The workshop is based on the teaching style of the Carpentries, and learners will follow along while the instructors write the code on screen.
