For Spring 2020 all of these meetings are online via Zoom (password is maps!).

DESCRIPTION

The UC Davis DataLab (formerly the Data Science Initiative, DSI) has selected geospatial research as one of the focus areas for a Research Cluster for the 2019-2020 academic year. We see this research cluster as an extension of the #maptimeDavis community already active on the UC Davis campus and hope that the cluster will actively support and engage in the #maptimeDavis workshops.

What is a Research Cluster? A Research Cluster is an interdisciplinary group of researchers of all types (undergraduate, graduate, faculty, post doc, staff, etc.) that meet to learn concepts and methods with an aim towards furthering the research capabilities of the participants.

What is the focus within the broad topic of geospatial?  At this meeting, we will collaboratively learn spatial SQL (PostGRESql/PostGIS) with Crunchy Data’s online PostGIS Tutorial.  No software installation is needed.
