Geospatial Community June Newsletter
Drop-in virtual help session this Thursday (June 1st, 3-5 pm)
Drop-in sessions are back this Thursday, so bring your thorniest spatial questions and we’ll help problem solve. In the first half of the session Dr Jackson Stockbridge will give a brief overview of how to access web mapping services (WMS) and web feature services (WFS) in R.
Next workshop – June 15th, 2-4pm
Join us for an exciting session where Dr César Herrara Acosta (Griffith University) will take you on a new dive into the dynamic world of the Python programming language ecosystem! Building upon previous sessions, César will showcase Python libraries for (1) analysis and visualization of spatial data (e.g. geopandas, datashader, holoviews) and (2) basic computer vision algorithms (OpenCV). César will also make use of the incredibly versatile Jupyter Notebooks and Jupyter Lab frameworks, which empowers users with seamless workflows for code development, data exploration, and interactive presentations.
