This course provides a comprehensive introduction to obtaining and working with free geospatial data obtained via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) using data science techniques. It is designed for those who are currently enrolled in any of the instructor's GIS and remote sensing related courses, or those who have prior experience in GIS or tools like R and QGIS. The course is a hands-on training with real remote sensing and GIS data analysis with Google Earth Engine, a planetary-scale platform for Earth science data and analysis, including implementing machine learning models on imagery data, powered by Google's cloud infrastructure.
The instructor has an MPhil (Geography and Environment) from the University of Oxford, UK and a PhD from Cambridge University (Tropical Ecology and Conservation). He has several years of experience in analyzing real-life spatial geospatial data from different sources and producing publications for international peer-reviewed journals.
In this course, actual geospatial data obtained via Foursquare and GEE APIs will be used to give students hands-on experience of applying data science and machine learning techniques to these data to answer real-life questions such as identifying the best locations for a restaurant or changes in socio-economic dynamics of a territory. The course will ensure students learn and put geospatial data analysis into practice today and increase their proficiency in using APIs for obtaining these data and deriving valuable insights from them.
The instructor will provide continuous support to make sure students get the most value out of their investment. Enroll now to take an important step forward in your GIS journey to become an expert in geospatial analysis.
