Opis predmeta

Advances in technology, low prices and availability of GPS devices resulted in overall presence of georeferenced data and heightened interest for spatial analysis. The goal of those analyses is describing spatial ordering of different processes (resources, pollution, biodiversity…) and modeling samples with that spatial structure. Modifying and linking a large number of statistical methods for analyzing and presentation of spatial data trough different software can be intimidating for new users. Main goal of this course is systematical introduction of spatial data analysis using case studies and hands-on approach that will enable students to analyze, visualize and interpret spatial data. Moreover, to familiarize students with the using and contributing to open data sources (research, spatial, environmental and ecosystem data, statistical data, open data from the nature sector, agronomy, etc.).
We chose open source system of R to demonstrate the analyses of spatial data because it ensures input, manipulation, analysis and presentation of spatial data in the same environment. Broad base of R users ensure quality and fast expansion of different functions (using packages) as well as tutorials and literature in different languages (predominately English).

Opće kompetencije

To understand structure and content of georeferenced biological data. To critically choose and apply appropriate analysis. To show and interpret results of spatial interpolation of climatological (eg. temperature, rainfal etc.), environmental (eg. element concentration in watter and sediment, feed content etc.) and biological (species density, population density, genetic diversity etc.) spatial data. By analizing their own spatial data and using appropriate georeferenced layers to find locations uning spatial query (eg. temperature or rainfal span; habitat suitability etc.). To use open source R environment with no need to learn different interfaces of abundand special software and apps.
