Hi everyone, GIS, Spatial Analysis & Mapping – Live and Recorded Courses in R and QGIS PR Stats is pleased to share a selection of upcoming live online courses and self-paced recorded training covering geographic information systems (GIS), spatial data analysis, cartography and interactive mapping. These courses are particularly relevant to researchers, postgraduate students and professionals working in landscape geography, physical and human geography, environmental science, landscape ecology, land-use change, spatial planning, conservation and geospatial analysis. The programme covers introductory and advanced workflows in R and QGIS, alongside specialist training in spatial data visualisation, interactive maps and cartographic design. Upcoming Live Online Courses 1. Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis and GIS Workflows in R (IRGI01) https://prstats.org/course/introduction-to-spatial-data-analysis-and-gis-workflows-in-r-irgi01/ An introduction to working with geographic data in R, covering sf, tmap, spatial data processing, mapping and reproducible GIS workflows. Particularly useful for researchers looking to integrate spatial data analysis into their R-based research, including land-use mapping, landscape analysis and environmental data processing. 2. Advanced spatial Analysis Workflows in R (ARGI01) https://prstats.org/course/advanced-r-for-spatial-analysis-argi01/ Develop advanced spatial analysis skills using sf, tmap and spatial modelling workflows in R. The course builds on foundational GIS skills, introducing more sophisticated approaches to spatial data manipulation, vector analysis and geographic data processing. Relevant to researchers working with complex spatial datasets, landscape patterns, environmental variables and geographic relationships. 3. Advanced QGIS and Spatial Data Analysis Workflows (AQGI01) https://prstats.org/course/advanced-qgis-and-spatial-data-analysis-workflows-aqgi01/ Practical training in QGIS, covering advanced geographic data processing, spatial analysis, mapping and GIS workflows. Topics include spatial joins, spatial overlays, point-based analysis and the integration of geographic and environmental datasets. Particularly relevant to landscape geography, land-use analysis, environmental assessment and spatial planning. 4. Interactive Maps with tmap and Shiny (IMTS02) https://prstats.org/course/interactive-maps-with-tmap-and-shiny-imts02/ Learn to create, customise and publish interactive maps and web-based spatial visualisations using R. Delivered by Dr Martijn Tennekes, principal author of the tmap R package, this course introduces interactive mapping using tmap, Leaflet, Mapbox, MapLibre GL and Shiny. Applications include communicating landscape change, visualising geographic datasets, presenting environmental monitoring results and developing interactive maps for research and stakeholder engagement. Recorded Courses – Study at Your Own Pace For researchers unable to attend live training, PR Stats also offers a range of recorded courses covering GIS, spatial analysis and mapping. 1. A FREE Introduction to Spatial Data Visualisation and Mapping in R (FMAPPR) https://prstats.org/course/free-course-introduction-to-spatial-data-visualisation-and-mapping-in-r-fmappr/ A free introduction to spatial data visualisation and mapping using tmap in R, delivered by the package author. An excellent starting point for researchers new to mapping in R. 2. Spatial Data Visualisation and Mapping using tmap (TMAPPR) https://prstats.org/course/spatial-data-visualisation-and-mapping-using-tmap-tmappr/ A comprehensive 20-hour recorded course covering static and interactive mapping using tmap, sf, terra and stars. Learn to create, customise and communicate geographic information through clear and effective spatial visualisations. 3. Interactive Maps with tmap and Shiny (IMTSPR) https://prstats.org/course/interactive-maps-with-tmap-and-shiny-imtspr/ The recorded alternative to IMTS02, covering interactive maps, customised layouts, web mapping and Shiny applications. Ideal for researchers wanting to develop interactive geographic visualisations at their own pace. 4. Advanced Static Cartography (ASCRPR) https://prstats.org/course/advanced-static-cartography-ascrpr/ Develop advanced cartographic skills in R, transforming geographic datasets into clear, professional and publication-quality maps. Particularly useful for academic publications, landscape assessments, research reports and geographic communication. 5. Adapting to the Recent Changes in R Spatial Packages (sf, terra, PROJ library) (PROJPR) https://prstats.org/course/adapting-to-the-recent-changes-in-r-spatial-packages-sf-terra-proj-library-projpr/ Update your spatial analysis workflows in R, focusing on the transition from sp and raster to sf, terra and modern PROJ-based coordinate reference systems. Especially relevant to researchers maintaining existing R spatial workflows or updating older analysis scripts. Who are these courses for? These courses are suitable for researchers and professionals working across: Landscape geography and landscape ecology Physical and human geography Land-use and land-cover change Environmental science and environmental management Spatial planning and geographic analysis Conservation and biodiversity research Remote sensing and GIS Spatial statistics and geospatial data science Together, the courses provide opportunities to develop skills from introductory GIS and mapping through to advanced spatial analysis, cartographic design and interactive geographic visualisation. Please feel free to share these courses with colleagues, friends, research groups, labs and others within your institute, organisation or wider geography and geospatial research network.
