The GEOSTAT Lancaster 2015 Summer School is 10th in a series of summer schools organized by R and Open Source (OS) GIS developers and enthusiasts. GEOSTAT aims at PhD students and researchers in a range of environmental and GIS sciences, especially those focusing on analyzing spatial and spatio-temporal gridded data in R and OS GIS.
Registrations are now closed. We received a total of over 60 registrations. Invitation letters have been sent to all applicants. For more info visit this page.
Period: 16 August (Sunday) to 23 August (Sunday) 2015
The participants will learn how to import and organize space-time data i.e. time series of points, lines and rasters and how to program statistical and geographical analysis using a combination of R and OS GIS functionality.
