This lecture-style workshop will introduce relevant concepts and techniques for modelling cross-sectional data observed on regular (such as remote sensing pixels) or irregular (such as Census polygons) lattice. Such data often exhibits spatial dependence and is common across several fields. We will cover the following topics: motivating examples from time series; spatial random fields and […]

Please note: This is a two day workshop. January 11 and January 12  (*one* registration covering both days) Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills in a supportive & inclusive environment. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts […]

This is the first 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 understanding for applications, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. […]

Modern 3D game engines and computer hardware can render convincing graphics, rivaling that of pre-rendered 3D animation. But video games still require special optimization techniques and tricks. This relates directly to perceived capabilities for data visualization and serious applications: we can generate and render thousands of interactive objects. But what about millions? This workshop will […]

This workshop will introduce you to the NumPy library in Python, which is useful in scientific computing. We will cover NumPy’s n-dimensional array object and associated functions in depth, along with related linear algebra and random number capabilities. Some familiarity with Python is expected. The workshop will be done online via Zoom. We will run […]
