This module will equip students with the technical and critical-reasoning skills to explore, analyse and communicate structure in geospatial datasets using visualization. Through the module students will learn modern techniques for processing and wrangling geospatial data, design and critique statistical graphics that expose structure in geographic data and develop expertise in communicating statistical effects under uncertainty. All data analysis activity will be performed within the R statistical programming environment. Whilst an advantage, prior familiarity with R or programming concepts is not a requirement.

Course Dates: 15th May - 21st July 2023
