Intelligently connect data points and gain a deeper understanding of environmental problems through hands-on Geospatial Data Science case studies written in PythonThe book includes colored images of important conceptsKey FeaturesLearn how to integrate spatial data and spatial thinking into traditional data science workflowsDevelop a spatial perspective and learn to avoid common pitfalls along the wayGain expertise through practical case studies applicable in a variety of industries with code samples that can be reproduced and expandedBook DescriptionData scientists, when presented with a myriad of data, can often lose sight of how to present geospatial analyses in a meaningful way so that it makes sense to everyone. Using Python to visualize data helps stakeholders in less technical roles to understand the problem and seek solutions. The goal of this book is to help data scientists and GIS professionals learn and implement geospatial data science workflows using Python.Throughout this book, you'll uncover numerous geospatial Python libraries with which you can develop end-to-end spatial data science workflows. You'll learn how to read, process, and manipulate spatial data effectively. With data in hand, you'll move on to crafting spatial data visualizations to better understand and tell the story of your data through static and dynamic mapping applications. As you progress through the book, you'll find yourself developing geospatial AI and ML models focused on clustering, regression, and optimization. The use cases can be leveraged as building blocks for more advanced work in a variety of industries.By the end of the book, you'll be able to tackle random data, find meaningful correlations, and make geospatial data models.What you will learnUnderstand the fundamentals needed to work with geospatial dataTransition from tabular to geo-enabled data in your workflowsDevelop an introductory portfolio of spatial data science work using PythonGain hands-on skills with case studies relevant to different industriesDiscover best practices focusing on geospatial data to bring a positive change in your environmentExplore solving use cases, such as traveling salesperson and vehicle routing problemsWho this book is forThis book is for you if you are a data scientist seeking to incorporate geospatial thinking into your workflows or a GIS professional seeking to incorporate data science methods into yours. You'll need to have a foundational knowledge of Python for data analysis and/or data science.Table of ContentsIntroducing Geographic Information Systems and Geospatial Data ScienceWhat Is Geospatial Data and Where Can I Find It?Working with Geographic and Projected Coordinate SystemsExploring Geospatial Data Science PackagesExploratory Data VisualizationHypothesis Testing and Spatial RandomnessSpatial Feature EngineeringSpatial Clustering and RegionalizationDeveloping Spatial Regression ModelsDeveloping Solutions for Spatial Optimization ProblemsAdvanced Topics in Spatial Data Science
