GIS and Spatial Analysis

Miscellaneous Lecture and Presentation Materials

I've been involved in a few presentations and workshops lately, talking about my research or about my interests in GIS and Spatial Analysis in general. In particular, I've been talking about open-source tools for doing this work, especially GRASS and R. I've recently been asked if I could make some of my materials available. I won't have time for anything fancy until July at the earliest, so in the meantime, here are some of the presentations and handouts I used:

• Slides presented at GEOIDE GSN Summer School (PDF)
• Handouts from GEOIDE GSN Summer School (PDF)
• Slides presented at Open Source GIS 2004 (PDF) "Introduction to GRASS" workshop (with many thanks to Markus Neteler for most of the material)
• The bootable CD-ROMs for both of the above, which provided a Linux system with GRASS and R, were from Peter Löwe at geomancers.net - Thanks, Peter !
• Script used to duplicate the elevation range by soil types example from Neteler and Mitasova. This is just a text file with R commands - you need to start GRASS, start R, then
