Three geospatial units

Full course readers and the data that goes with them, for Geostatistics, Remote Sensing Applications and Web Mapping. Everything on this page is free to read, download and reuse.

About the data

The facility register and every geostatistics dataset are synthetic. That is deliberate: a simulated field has a known variogram and a simulated register has known faults, so your work can be checked against the answer rather than against an opinion. The county boundaries are real, from geoBoundaries (public domain), because real polygons behave in ways synthetic ones do not.

The datasets are regenerated with a new random seed each year, so a set of answers from a previous cohort will not fit this year's data.

Working offline. Everything here totals about 9 MB, and the zips are self-contained. Download them once on a good connection and you can work through the whole unit without one. Ask if you would rather have it on a USB stick.
