SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – V (Spatial Database - PostGIS)
DESCRIPTION:This is the fifth workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is somewhat self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. \n\nIn this workshop we will cover the basic concepts of spatial databases and learn about setting up and using PostGIS\, an open source spatial database built on top of PostgreSQL\, along with R for vector data analysis. We will also touch upon topics such as spatial indexing\, query processing and the capabilities of PostGIS for other data models such as the network and raster data model. This is a hands-on workshop and the instructor will use a Mac machine. If you intend to use a Windows or Linux machine please get in touch with the instructor before the workshop at manishve@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Software Development For Research: Version Control Principles
DESCRIPTION:Software development and computer programming is increasingly a major part of scientific research. Projects can quickly grow\, and it can be difficult to manage changes\, especially if multiple programmers are editing the same project at once! This workshop will cover Git\, a commonly-used tool for managing coding projects with multiple users\, with features to make or remove edits\, and track information related to those changes. After completing the workshop attendees will have a good understanding of Git workflow and will know how to perform the most common Git operations via the command line. \nThis is part of a series of workshops focused on software and coding from a research perspective.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Deep Neural Networks with Keras/TensorFlow
DESCRIPTION:Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used as a machine learning method for both regression and classification problems. Keras is a high-level\, Python interface running on top of multiple neural network libraries\, including the popular library TensorFlow. In this workshop\, participants will learn how to quickly use the Keras interface to perform nonlinear regression and classification with standard fully-connected DNNs\, as well as image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We will also look at regularization techniques and how to deal with under- and over-fitting. All examples will use Python; some familiarity with Python is recommended. The workshop will be done online via Zoom. We will run the models using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – VI (Map visualization)
DESCRIPTION:This is the sixth workshop in a series of workshops we are offering this semester on the fundamentals of GIS. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. \n\nThis workshop will cover basic concepts and tools available in QGIS and R for visualizing vector spatial data as single and bi-variate static choropleth maps. We will focus on basic cartography principles for map-making and explore the functionalities of R and QGIS for making production-quality maps. \n\nParticipants should have some familiarity with R\, but exposure to QGIS is not required.

SUMMARY:Software Development For Research: Team-Based Programming Practices
DESCRIPTION:Software development and computer programming is increasingly a major part of scientific research. When small or large teams are involved in coding the same project\, it’s a good idea to adopt team-based practices\, such as “pair programming” or “code review” meetings\, to ensure quality is maintained in the code. This hands-on workshop will provide examples of these topics in action\, and attendees will leave prepared to use these skills in their own work groups. \nThis is part of a series of workshops focused on software and coding from a research perspective.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – (PostGIS-II)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will further develop the material covered on spatial databases in the first workshop a few weeks back. PostGIS is the most widely used spatial database and is built on top of PostgreSQL\, a powerful open source relational database. The focus of this workshop is to exploit PostGIS to deal with big vector data\, and use familiar tools in R to reduce the burden to learn SQL. \n\nThis is a hands-on workshop. Please make sure that you have PostgreSQL installed along with pgAdmin. \nParticipants should be familiar with vector data processing in R.
