Geographic Data Science

  • GIScience ↔︎ Data Science
  • Foster innovation (avoid reinventing the wheel)
  • Grow a community around collaboration (1+1>2)
    • Diverse (!= white male engineer)
    • Inclusive (embrace different perspectives)
    • Welcoming (make it easy to join… and stay)

What?

The Book is…

The Book is not…

  • A GIS starter
  • An introduction to programming
  • An in-depth volume (rather in-breath)

The Book is for…

  • Data Scientists who work on spatial problems
  • GIScientists who want to “update”
  • (Social) Scientists getting started in geospatial

GIScience + Data Science

  • geopandas
  • rasterio
  • pysal
  • osmnx
  • contextily
  • pandas
  • xarray
  • scikit-learn
  • matplotlib
  • seaborn
