Introduction to GIS: Working with Spatial Data in Python Online
This 90-minute workshop will introduce participants to basic GIS functions and working with spatial data in Python.
Participants will learn:
- What is GIS?
- What is a Spatial or Coordinate Reference System?
- What is spatial data? Explanation of common formats
- What is geocoding?
- How to perform an attribute join between spatial data and tabular data
- How to perform a spatial join between points and polygons
