Practical Python Code Examples for GIS Applications

Advance your Skills!


Become a stronger and more competitive GIS professional

Welcome everyone! If you are in the field of GIS/Remote Sensing, you are probably hearing everyone talking about Python and its usefulness in various GIS related tasks.

GIS and Remote Sensing are one of the most integrated fields combining skills from different areas such as Computer Science, Engineering, Geography, Mathematics, etc.

To become  a stronger and more competitive GIS professinal and to increase your value in the GIS industry you need to learn how to program. Python  is one of the most spreading programming languages in the IT world and with huge usability in the GIS/Remote Sensing field. You can find many articles mentioning why Python is the future of GIS and how you can get a more competitive salary1 just by learning how to use Python routines.

About your Instructor

I'm a Remote Sensing and a Surveying Engineer. I received my degree from NTUA in 2010, where I also received my Ph.D. in hyperspectral remote sensing in 2016. From graduation in 2010, my career started as a Researcher Associate and Teaching Associate in the Laboratory of Remote Sensing of NTUA. From that time I also worked at several private companies as a Remote Sensing Expert and Geospatial Analyst. From the beginning of 2015 I was positioned as Senior Earth Observation Expert. During these years, I have participated in more than 20 funded European Commission and European Space Agency projects, have over 16 peer reviewed scientific publications in the field of Remote Sensing, and have an international patent in hyperspectral data compression.My main research and professional interests are in the optical remote sensing area, where I specialize in data (images, point measurements) processing and algorithm design and development. Some of the software tools that I operate to accomplish my research and business dreams are SNAP, ENVI, IDL, QGIS, ERDAS Imagine, ArcGIS, and Python. I have been working with these tools since 2008.
