Geospatial Data Science (Spring 2022)

Massive geospatial data are generated every second from our smartphones, through our social media posts, or through many kinds of other means like tracked whale trajectories in the ocean, allowing us to trace the movements of entire societies. As these data keep growing, it becomes more important to extract meaningful insights from location, relation, and position, for applications as diverse as business analytics, epidemiology, or species protection. This course provides students core competences in Geospatial Data Science (GDS). A prerequisite for taking this course is solid know-how in Python programming and data analysis. There are 14 weeks of learning/teaching activities.
