This Mini Course will provide participants with a better understanding of tools and techniques used for gathering, understanding and using geographical data. Although the focus is on human mobility data, principles and practices are relevant to much broader fields. We hope many of you will be able to join and consider potential applications in your own research. Each session is independent, so feel free to attend just one or both!
