OpenGeoHub EO-council Summer School 2025

Raster and vector data cubes in R and Python
2025-09-02, 13:30–15:00 (Europe/Amsterdam), HugoTECH

The workshop will repeat some theory about what multidimensional
arrays are in computer science as well as in R and Python, and
discuss how they can be used for solving Earth Observations problems.
In particular it will discuss the use of arrays for time series
data, for spatial data (raster maps, stacks of raster maps), for
spatiotemporal data (time series of raster maps or stacks), and for
time series of feature (point or polygon) data (vector data cubes).
All will be illustrated by examples in R and Python, in parallel.
Examples will be (mostly) reproducible by participants.
