Course Description
Learn why the Geospatial Data Science tools are becoming so popular in the Geospatial sector. The combination of Jupyter Notebooks with Python and GeoPanda's allows you to analyze vector data quickly, repeatably, and with full documentation of every step along the way so your entire analysis can be repeated at the touch of a button in a notebook format that can be shared with colleagues.
If you ever get asked to explain your analysis, either for a scientific paper, to defend your results in a court, or simply to share what you've done with others so they can follow your steps than you will be glad that you conducted your analysis in Jupyter notebooks with GeoPanda's rather than in a traditional desktop GIS system.
If you ever get frustrated with limitations in desktop GIS software, some of which is still 32 bit, single core software that uses decades old technology under the hood then you will appreciate the performance that can be achieved with this approach.
Goals
What will you learn in this course:
