Summary
Well done! You are now a geospatial analyst. In this chapter, you learned about the history of geospatial analysis and the technologies that support it. You saw how geospatial technology led the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. You also became familiar with foundational GIS and remote sensing concepts that will serve you through the rest of this book. Finally, you took all of this knowledge and built a working GIS that can be expanded to do whatever you can imagine!
In the next chapter, we’ll tackle the data formats that you’ll encounter as a geospatial analyst. Geospatial analysts spend far more time dealing with data than actually performing analysis. Understanding the data that you’re working with is essential to working efficiently and having fun.
