Course Goal / Objective
This course will give the basic knowledge on the mapping of oceanographic and limnological data using R. Necessary R skills will be introduced during the course. Along with R base, ggplot2 and its extensions will be used in mapping applications. Data exploration and extrapolation applications will be performed in gstat and geoR packages.
Course Content
Basics of R environment and graphical user interfaces, Basics of spatial data and mapping, Exploratory analysis of spatial data, Accessing and visualizing base maps in R, Working with local shapefiles, Working with Google, OSM and Stamen Maps, Preparing shapefiles using Google Earth and R, Visualizing qualitative and quantitative data with filled polygons, Label and text clouds on maps, Mapping pie charts, Density maps, Working and plotting raster data in R, Simple interpolation techniques with gstat, Kriging applications with geoR.
Course Precondition
Successful completion of a lecture on introductory level statistics course.
