This instructor-led, live training in Swansea (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level geographers who wish to deepen their expertise in spatial analysis, data management, and GIS applications.By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Apply advanced spatial analysis techniques to solve complex geographical problems.
• Manage large spatial databases and perform data quality control.
• Create dynamic and interactive maps and visualizations for various applications.
• Utilize programming and automation to streamline GIS workflows.

This instructor-led, live training in Swansea (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level environmental scientists and archaeologists who wish to learn how to use ArcMap in ArcGIS for collecting, organizing, managing, and analyzing geographic information. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of ArcMap and ArcGIS.
• Collect, organize, manage, and analyze geographic information on the social and archaeological elements.
• Conduct spatial queries for impact evaluation.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIScience) to refer to the academic discipline that studies geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics. The use of Python with GIS has substantially increased over the last two decades, particularly with the introduction of Python 2.0 series in 2000, which included many new programming features that made the language much easier to deploy. Since that time, Python has not only been utilized within commercial GIS such as products by Esri but also open source platforms, including as part of QGIS and GRASS. In fact, Python today is by far the most widely used language by GIS users and programmers. This program covers the usage of Python and its advance libraries like geopandas, pysal, bokeh and osmnx to implement your own GIS features. The program also covers introductory modules around ArcGIS API, and QGIS toolboox.

Magellan is an open-source distributed execution engine for geospatial analytics on big data. Implemented on top of Apache Spark, it extends Spark SQL and provides a relational abstraction for geospatial analytics. This instructor-led, live training introduces the concepts and approaches for implementing geospacial analytics and walks participants through the creation of a predictive analysis application using Magellan on Spark. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Efficiently query, parse and join geospatial datasets at scale
• Implement geospatial data in business intelligence and predictive analytics applications
• Use spatial context to extend the capabilities of mobile devices, sensors, logs, and wearables

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIScience) to refer to the academic discipline that studies geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics. QGIS functions as geographic information system (GIS) software, allowing users to analyze and edit spatial information, in addition to composing and exporting graphical maps. QGIS supports both raster and vector layers; vector data is stored as either point, line, or polygon features. Multiple formats of raster images are supported, and the software can georeference images. To summarize it allows the users to Create, edit, visualise, analyse and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD. This program, in its first phase, introduces the QGIS interface for general usage. In the second phase, we introduce PyQGIS - the python libraries of QGIS that allows the integration of GIS functionalities in your python code or your python application, so that you may even create your own Python Plugin around a particular GIS functionality.
