This week I learned to work with vector data in python. This includes:
- How shape files work (they store vector data)
- How to read a shape file using geopandas
- Extracting spatial information
- Plotting using earthpy
- How to import CSV file as shapefile
- How to show multiple features in one plot with legend
- How to perform calculations on various features
- Cropping a raster based on the extent of vector data
- Plotting raster data and vector data together
With this I think I have gotten a good handle on how to work with geospatial data in python using various python libraries. Next week I will start working on understanding Machine Learning!
Meanwhile at my university, all the faculty and math/cs students are now vaccinated, so they started holding more activities together!
- Tuesday evenings are for board game nights hosted by the math/cs department faculty
- Wednesday lunches all computer science students and faculty get together for lunch
- Thursday evenings all on-campus research students play volleyball
Side note: Not having to think about homework over the weekends has been really nice.
