[R] Fwd: Using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing to study disease vector habitat
HI, Apologies for cross-posting: This is a good opportunity for start to learn GIS and Statistical Analysis (R) with open-source software. *Workshop: **Using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing to study disease vector habitat* Biotechonology Research Institute <http://www.kalro.org/Biotechnology_Research_Institute> (BRI) in collaboration with Yale University (School of Public Helath <http://publichealth.yale.edu/>, Institute for Biospehric Studies <http://yibs.yale.edu/> and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology <http://eeb.yale.edu/>) invites applications for a geospatial analysis workshop to be held on June *1 - 6, 2015 *at TRC Campus in Muguga Kenya. *The workshop will *introduce participants to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite-based remote sensing technologies. Students will use the provided suite of *open-source software* (GRASS, R, QGIS, PKTOOLS) to manipulate GIS data and satellite images to create basic species habitat models with R ( library(hSDM) ) . There will be a special focus on identifying and mapping tsetse fly habitat.
