Course Description

One of the most important tasks is to understand the relationships between data scientists' data and their geographical context. This course will show you how to create beautiful visualizations using geospatial data with the GeoPandas package. This course will show you how to spatially link datasets and data to context. You will learn how to overlay geospatial data on maps to add spatial cues. You will use several datasets from Nashville's open-data portal to find the location of chickens in Nashville.
