This repository contains notes and code on many of the things I wish I had known about spatial data and R when I first started.
There are two parts:
- R for mapping and more This provides an overview of the following:
- Overview of what spatial data is, with links to more in-depth resources
- Overview of R packages available for spatial data
- How to start a spatial project in R
- How to wrangle spatial data in R
- How to perform spatial operations in R
- How to make a map in R
- Common problems you might encounter in R spatial, and how to solve them
Check out the tutorial here and if you want to run through the code yourself, download the data here
- Calculating areas with vector and raster data This provides some insight into how best to calculate area in R. A link to the published version of the tutorial is here
