IHE Delft and FAO are proud to announce the launch of our new MOOC on 'Python for Geospatial analyses using WaPOR data'
This course covers an essential skill of python scripting for researchers and practitioners who handle (spatial) data in their work/research. Scripting allows better control, automation, and processing of data using command line tools and Python libraries. The applications use WaPOR data and are targeted for researchers and practitioners in the agricultural and water sector.
The course contains three modules:
- Module 1: Introduction to the Command Line Interface and GDAL
- Module 2: Introduction to Python
- Module 3: Using Python Libraries for Handling WaPOR Data
Course is free and self-paced, participants can start any time and after successfully completing all assignments obtain a certificate. Course is available starting May 2024.
