I hope that this is an allowable question - for my hydrological research I need to create and manipulate maps (ideally in raster form), and get conversant with GIS. I have for example downloaded QGIS but am finding the sites on it opaque, and more widely I am finding it hard to find useful sources of information on GIS processing in R. Does anyone know of any accessible sites or useful texts on GIS processing in R? Thanks Nick Wray [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hi Nick, First off, I would suggest going to: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html also have a close look at https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-067/RJ-2017-067.pdf And you might also consider the use of GRASS GIS, which interfaces with R pretty seamlessly: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics/rgrass7 Best, Tom On Thu, Sep 1, 2022 at 6:50 AM Nick Wray <nickmwray at gmail.com> wrote:> I hope that this is an allowable question - for my hydrological research I > need to create and manipulate maps (ideally in raster form), and get > conversant with GIS.

Two comments in addition to what Tom suggested: This online book comes highly recommended: https://geocompr.robinlovelace.net/ and when you encounter further questions specific to spatial analysis, you'll want to post to the R geo special interest group maillist: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo Regards, Micha On 9/1/22 12:49, Nick Wray wrote:> I hope that this is an allowable question - for my hydrological research I > need to create and manipulate maps (ideally in raster form), and get > conversant with GIS.

Hi Nick, There are a bunch of resources. You might start with this Spatial Data Science with R book at https://rspatial.org The book fondly known as ASDAR ( https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4614-7618-4 ) is a more comprehensive survey of spatial data in R, but if you?re mainly doing raster analysis the above may be what you need. For specific questions, there?s a subject mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo Sarah On Thu, Sep 1, 2022 at 6:50 AM Nick Wray <nickmwray at gmail.com> wrote:> > I hope that this is an allowable question - for my hydrological research I > need to create and manipulate maps (ideally in raster form), and get > conversant with GIS.
