Introduction to Geospatial data and GeoPandas
In this workshop we will learn the basic units of geospatial data and how to easily read and process it to create maps using GeoPandas.
Topics: - Quick overview of maps, projections and coordinate systems. - Maps: Raster and vector, existing technologies, tile maps. [Workshop: OpenStreetMap and custom tilemaps] - Geospatial data types (Points, LineStrings, Polygons) and formats (GeoJSON, WKL, Shapefile) [Workshop: Query, export and import data online with geojson.io and OverPass Turbo] - Behind the scenes - Standing on the shoulders of giants: GEOS, shapely (and GDAL, proj) [Workshop: Creating and manipulating geometries with shapely] - Crash intro to pandas + Geospatial data analysis with GeoPandas [Workshop: Reading, displaying, filtering and processing geospatial data with GeoPandas]
Requirements: - Participants should have at least basic Python background. - PC+Python+All required libraries installed before the workshop - goepandas, jupyterlab and a few more.
