Free GIS Resources

Jan 26 2010 Published by James under Book Review, Journals, Resources, Software

Over the last couple of days I have utilised some excellent free GIS resources. I have listed these and some others below.

Geospatial Analysis: This is the free online version of de Smith, Longley and Goodchild’s excellent book by the same title. It provides full coverage of current GIS methodologies. It also provides extensive information regarding the various GIS software available.

Analysing Spatial Point Patterns in R: 200 pages of workshop notes written by Adrian Baddeley. These provide extremely detailed and comprehensive overview of the spatstat in R.

GeoDa Center Tutorials: A range of tutorial material provided by creators of the GeoDa Software. I would focus on the R tutorials as the GeoDa tutorials are awaiting an update in line with the software’s latest release.

Spatial Stats. in ArcGIS: A preview chapter from the Springer’s Handbook of Applied Spatial Analysis.

CATMOGs: A hugely successful series of publications that cover the basics of spatial analysis, they have been written by many of the pioneers in the field. Topics include The Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (Openshaw), Voronoi (Thiessen) Polygons (Boots), Spatial Autocorrelation (Goodchild).

CASA Working Papers: A shameless plug for my fellow researchers. The nice thing about these is you don’t need to be part of an academic institution to access academic research.

I am sure there are many others and I welcome your suggestions…

Following the success of the RGS Population Geography Research Group’s journal RSS feed syndication page, and my growing list of journal RSS feeds, I have selected a few of the journals most relevant to my research and published their RSS feeds on the “Journals” page. Thanks to Ollie O’Brien for helping me out with this.  Hopefully people with similar interests will find this a useful resource as they can view the page to keep updated with the latest publications without visiting each journal’s website separately. As my interests change I will add to the current list of feeds.
