PGIS_ESR-512

Slides from the course ESR 512 “GIS in Geostatistics” held by Thusitha Wagalawatta & Daniel Knitter, winter term 2015 at the Postgraduate Institute of Science (PGIS), University Peradeniya, Kandy, Sri Lanka

What you will find here (all things are conducted using data from/about Sri Lanka):

• A short intro to R
• Analyses of climate data from FAO
• Analyses of Census data
• Shortest path analyses
• Small things about interpolation
• Small things about spatial autocorrelation
• Some things concerning the analyses of terrain
• Some examples of Point Pattern Analyses
• Viewshed analyses

Without the lectures some of the material might not be self-explanatory. Nevertheless, perhaps you can still make use of some of the code.

If you want to learn a little more about spatial analyses, with a special focus on archaeology have a look at the book “Modelling Human Behaviour in Landscapes” by Oliver Nakoinz and Daniel Knitter

• Woldcat link
• at Springer

There is also a github repository:

If you still have questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Cheers, Thusitha & Daniel
