Do you have intermediate to advanced skills in Python? Are you interested in learning how to work with geospatial data in your research? In this workshop, you will learn how to work with both vector and raster data using Python. You will explore how to import, visualize, crop, and assess spatial datasets to focus on areas of interest. You will conduct a hands-on case study analyzing the impact of the 2023 wildfire on Rhodes, Greece, working with real-world satellite and topographical data, calculating NDVI, identifying scorched areas, and comparing pre- and post-disaster landscapes. This session will help integrate powerful spatial tools into your data science or research workflows.

This workshop will take place in the GIS & Data Lab, which is only accessible to those with an active MIT ID card. MIT Touchstone authentication is required to register.
