Mapping with R

Although GIS software is commonly used to produce maps, programming languages like R are rapidly expanding their geospatial capabilities. This session will cover some of the basics of producing maps using R statistical software and the Leaflet package. While the intro to mapping session focused on producing static maps, this session will focus on producing dynamic, interactive maps. Although this session is intended to build on the Intro to Mapping workshop, you do not need to have any mapping or R programming experience to participate. All participants will create a map by the end of the session; you are welcome to use the data provided, or bring your own geospatial data to the session.
