Visualising Spatial Data

This is an edited recording of a webinar, together with slides, for a presentation on Visualising Spatial Data given on Wednesday, August 7th 2024, as part of the Digital Scholarship Series for researchers at UCT.

Like any chart, creating a spatial visualisation is about telling a story, or making a point. In this session we look at various different visualisation and symbology options that can help you to tell the story of your spatial data more clearly.

The Digital Scholar Series is run out of Digital Library Services at UCT Libraries. It aims to showcase some of the digital practices and tools available to enhance research skills, with an ongoing focus on managing research data efficiently. Topics covered deal with the management of digital materials for research (what some of us call ‘data’) and touch on digital topics throughout the research lifecycle.
