==Displaying Data on Maps and Assessing Autocorrelation==<br />
<br />
'''Map Making:''' <br />
Visualizing maps and using them to display information<br />
<br />
'''Detecting Autocorrelation:''' <br />
Are observations close to each other more likely to have similar values than those farther apart?<br />
<br />
'''Why I chose this skill?'''<br />
*Powerful alternative to ESRI<br />
*Useful to people who work at macro-scales<br />
*Daunting initially<br />
<br />
'''How you can use it:''' <br />
*Identify trends/patterns<br />
*Make prettier maps<br />
*QAQC big databases<br />
*Properly analyze your data<br />
<br />
'''Challenges:'''<br />
*Importing .shp so readable to ggplot<br />
*Unique identifiers have to be perfect<br />
*Takes some time to learn how to control ggplot<br />

==Introduction to R coding==<br />
<br />
The first workshop began with an R Skills Sharing activity. All fellows presented on their chosen skill. <br />
<br />
The general instructions were: <br />
Identify a skill, tool technique you currently do not know how to implement, and learn how to carry it out. Explain the skill’s relevance to you (why did you choose it?) and to others (how can others use it?), and visualize results in a plot, if appropriate. Overall, you should aim to stretch a bit outside of your current knowledge ‘comfort zone’.<br />
<br />
The presentations are included here. <br />
