I’m a geographer. I use R, Python, and Linux to analyse spatial and non-spatial data sets.

The tutorials I’ve written here were originally reminders for me, but you’re welcome to use them if they’re any help to you. You can use and share these tutorials for free (CC BY-NC). I try to ensure they’re as accurate as possible and hope they’re helpful, but make no guarantees that they’re correct; use at your own risk. Always be careful copying and pasting code from an internet source before running it on your machine.
