Course Description

MASTER SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS IN R & QGIS: HANDS ON TRAINING WITH A REAL SPATIAL DATA PROJECT!

Do you find GIS & Spatial Data books & manuals too vague, expensive & not practical and looking for a course that takes you by hand, teaches you all the concepts, and get you started on a real life project?

Or perhaps you wantto save time and learn how toautomate some of the most common GIS tasks?

I'm very excited you found my spatial data analysis course.
My course provides a foundation to carry out PRACTICAL, real-life spatial data analysis tasks in popular and FREE software frameworks.

My name isMINERVA SINGHand i am an Oxford University MPhil (Geography and Environment) graduate. I amcurrently pursuing a PhD at Cambridge University (Tropical Ecology and Conservation). I have several yearsofexperience in analyzing real life spatial data from different sources and producing publications for international peer reviewed journals.

In this course, actual spatial data from the Tam Dao National Park in Vietnam will be used to give a practical hands-on experience of working with real life spatial data and understanding what kind of questions spatial data can help us answer. The underlying motivation for the course is to ensure you can put spatial data analysis into practice today. Start analyzing spatial data for your own projects, whatever your skill level and IMPRESS your potential employers with an actual example of your spatial data analysis abilities.

This is a core course in spatial data analysis, i.
e. we will focus on learning the most important and widely encountered spatial data analysis tasks in both R and QGIS

It is a practical, hands-on course, i.
e. we will spend a tiny amount of time dealing with some of the theoretical concepts related to spatial data analysis. However, majority of the course will focus on working with the spatial data from the Tam Dao National Park, Vietnam. After each video you will learn a new concept or technique which you mayapply to your own projects.

TAKE ACTION TODAY! I will personally support you and ensure your experience with thiscourse is a success.

Instructor Details

Minerva Singh

Hello. I am a PhD graduate from Cambridge University where Ispecializedin Tropical Ecology. I am also a Data Scientist on the side. As a part of my research I have to carry out extensive data analysis, including spatial data analysis.or this purpose I prefer to use a combination of freeware tools- R, QGIS and Python.I do most of my spatial data analysis work using R and QGIS. Apart from being free, these are very powerful tools for data visualization, processing and analysis. I also hold an MPhil degree in Geography and Environment from Oxford University. I have honed my statistical and data analysis skills through a number of MOOCs including The Analytics Edge (R based statistics and machine learning course offered by EdX), Statistical Learning (R based Machine Learning course offered by Standford online). In addition to spatial data analysis, I am also proficient in statistical analysis, machine learning and data mining. I also enjoy general programming, data visualizationand web development. In addition to being a scientist and number cruncher, I am anavid traveler

Informative

Just started. Will update.

GOOD COURSE FOR BASICS OF GIS

By Thomas Delury on 9/26/2020

QGIS is sophisticated software and it works with R. Both are free. If the output files have file extensions that match what a client needs, then QGIS looks to be a good solution. I would continue to use QGIS and ESRI ArcGIS side by side so that my skills in both products stay up to date. This is a nice course given the brief time that it runs. It helps the student to see what type of features are available in the QGIS environment.

no incio do curso entendi que falaria de ndvi

By Fabian Scheidt on 9/12/2020

Overall the content is ok and the instructor is engaged to teach the material. However, the provided data could be better structured. Nevertheless, a nice course to get in touch with R and QGIS for spatial analysis.

By Antony Rodgers on 9/5/2020

The content was good but needed further detail on what was being done at each stage. It felt a bit rushed.

By Lei Johnson on 9/4/2020

QGIS has been updated and the course needs to be updated as well. It is also hard to leave notes on Udemy and scroll on the page at all.

By Geoffrey Gordon Ashbrook on 9/3/2020

I am very excited for this course. I love Minerva Singh's style. I has been too long since I worked with GIS, time to get caught up!!

By Mithun Singha on 8/27/2020

good

By Anonymized User on 8/26/2020

It has been a fantastic journey with the course. The instructor has a knack of explaining the novel concepts in the simplest possible way.

By Irwan Lovadi on 8/25/2020

The online course covers basic operations on raster and vector data in both R and QGIS. The instructor did a very good job in delivering the lessons.
