Geospatial Data Exploration, Analysis, and Visualization

A subset of relevant core concepts and modern geospatial data science approaches for ICESat data analysis

Instructor: David Shean ([email protected])

Let's work through some modern data science tools that can help with analysis and visualization of point data, enabling rapid data-driven discovery.

Learning Objectives

• Review fundamental concepts that are common to most geospatial analysis (e.g. coordinate systems, geometry types)
• Learn basic data manipulation and exploration with a relatively small, clean point dataset
• Use modern data science tools for data exploration, interpretation and visualization
