Geospatial analysis plays a crucial role in various applications, from urban planning and environmental monitoring to transportation logistics and emergency response. In this course you will be introduced to GIS applications in Python through the GeoPandas library.
 
You'll begin with the essentials of geospatial data and its formats. You'll then learn to import, manipulate, and export geospatial data using Geopandas. Moving forward, you’ll explore advanced geoprocessing techniques and create captivating visualizations with static and interactive maps. The course concludes with a hands-on project combining various concepts and skills.
 
After completing this course, you can manipulate geospatial data, create insightful visualizations, and undertake complex geoprocessing tasks. These skills can open new doors and opportunities in the dynamic realm of GIS, empowering you in your career or academic pursuits.

Using GeoPandas for Geospatial Analysis in Python

import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd

# Load cities and countries
cities = gpd.read_file('populated_places.geojson')
countries = gpd.read_file('countries.geojson')

# Join both DataFrames
merged = pd.merge(countries, cities, left_on='sovereignt', right_on='sov0name', how='inner')

# filter by population size
filtered = merged.query("continent == 'Africa'")

# When we merge, we need to reset the geometry
filtered = filtered.set_geometry('geometry_y')

# save the CSV
filtered.to_csv('output/african_cities.csv')

# Save the PNG
ax = filtered.plot(figsize=(7, 7))
ax.set_ylabel('Latitude')
ax.set_xlabel('Longitude')
ax.figure.savefig('output/african_cities.png', dpi=300)
