Hands-on Session: Analyzing Spatial Data Using “R” Free Software
In this hands-on session, Alessandra Menafoglio will guide participants through practical exercises on analyzing spatial data using the "R" programming language. Known for its powerful statistical analysis capabilities, R will be used to explore and process spatial data, making it accessible even for those new to data analysis.
Lecture: Statistical Learning from Complex Spatial Data
In this lecture, Alessandra Menafoglio, Associate Professor in Mathematics at Politecnico di Milano, will provide an in-depth discussion on statistical learning techniques used to analyze complex spatial data. The lecture will cover methods for extracting patterns, building models, and interpreting data in the context of spatial phenomena.
Hands-on Session on Collaborative Mapping
In this interactive session, Quang Huy Nguyen, a Research Fellow at Politecnico di Milano, will guide participants through collaborative mapping techniques. This hands-on activity will emphasize the importance of public participation in mapping efforts, as well as how open geo-data can be used to enhance collaboration among stakeholders in urban planning and environmental management.
Lecture Part II: Cubesats in Earth Observation for Sustainable Cities and Communities
This lecture will focus on the role of CubeSats, small satellites designed for Earth observation, in supporting sustainable urban development and communities. Prof. Brovelli will explore how these technologies provide affordable, high-resolution data critical for monitoring urban expansion, environmental changes, and resource management.
