topics include: spatial and spatio-temporal data and analysis in R, spatial
and spatio-temporal geostatistics, processing large rasters using the
raster package, CartoDB and gvSIG software tutorials, visualization of
spatial and spatio-temporal data in Google Earth. To register for this
summer school please visit:
