Location can play an important part in your research. "Everything happens somewhere..." In this short, interactive workshop, we'll learn about spatial data, explore GIS (geographic information systems) data resources and search strategies, review critical data literacy and attribution information, and discuss building spatial datasets.
The ggplot2 package from the tidyverse provides extensive and flexible graphical capabilities within a consistent framework. This session introduces the main features of ggplot2. Some prior familiarity with R is assumed (packages, structure, syntax), but the presentation can be followed without this background.
This workshop is designed to guide participants through the process of revealing hidden stories in data using Python. It focuses on using Matplotlib and Seaborn, two prominent visualization tools, for effective exploratory data analysis (EDA). This workshop emphasizes the creation of engaging visual narratives, enabling participants to transform complex data insights into compelling and understandable … Read More
Most people can relate to and understand "where" when sharing information. In this short, interactive workshop, we will explore telling the story of your research using StoryMaps or another of the web applications that integrate work done in ArcGIS Online. Previous knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS) is not required. Make sure to register for … Read More
