Master mapping and geospatial analysis. Learn to manipulate spatial data, perform geometric operations, and create interactive maps using Python.
Location data is everywhere, from logistics to environmental science. This course teaches Spatial Data Science using the Python ecosystem. You will move beyond simple coordinates to master Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS), vector data manipulation with Shapely, and powerful dataframes with GeoPandas. Learn to perform spatial joins (points in polygons), calculate distances, and visualize complex datasets on interactive web maps. This skillset is essential for urban planning, logistics, and environmental monitoring.
