Scripts & Notes

Here are some Python scripts that you may find useful. Most are geospatial applications.

Python Scripts (in pdf format, .py, .csv files not allowed for security reasons; I cannot even add plugins to display Jupyter notebooks directly):

  • Simple Markov chain model of land change, and full example using data from Austin.
  • Calculates surface area of lat-long spheroid rectangle for ArcGIS. Similar to Matlab’s areaquad function. Useful when you have proportions or density rasters that are in geographic coordinate systems and you want to calculate total values per cell (e.g. LandScan dataset)
