AMMnet Hackathon Session 3: Introduction to Mapping in R

This live session aims to introduce participants to mapping in R, with a focus on working with vector data. We will start with a brief introduction to key GIS concepts before diving into hands-on mapping techniques using R. Participants will learn how to read, manipulate, and visualize spatial data using the sf, tidyverse, and tmap packages. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to load vector data, perform basic spatial operations, and create effective maps in R.

The AMMnet Hackathon blog is a continual support space that anyone can access to learn how to code and how to code better, to upskill people from a distance and improve abilities in data handling, presentation and analysis, experimental design, quantitative understanding, coding and problem solving and transmission modelling.
