In the keynote presentation from the 2021 CCA Annual Conference below, you will see how Anita frames her discussion within the context of geographic data science, discussing geospatial data analysis with a focus on visualization, showing a variety of examples, especially from her recent work on mobility data.
She demonstrated open source technologies, many that integrate with QGIS (e.g., GeoPandas, Jupyter Notebooks, R), and emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary communication within teams to turn data into insight and understanding.
