Introduction to Mapping & spatial representation module

Introduction to Module

This module builds on our skills for importing different data types, like coastlines, bathymetry and other spatial data and visualisation skills from the previous module for Mapping and the Spatial representation of our coral reef monitoring data.

We will use examples from importing GPS data, harmonising spatial coordinate data and basic map projection management to provide course participants with basic skills for mapping and spatial visualisation of data.

These skills will also help in the next module for Linking covariate data.

Please review this short introductory presentation and expectations for this module here:
