This workshop will introduce packages related to geospatial analysis to design a bivariate map in the R coding environment. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to use geospatial packages in an R workflow to create a publication-quality bivariate map. A bivariate map helps to understand the spatial relationships, correlations, and patterns between two different spatial variables. This is an introductory workshop appropriate for those with only a basic familiarity with R and geospatial analysis. Example code will be provided. This is a virtual workshop and will be held over Zoom.

Mainul Islam, CSSI graduate consultant and PhD candidate in the School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability, will run the workshop.
