Task

Swipe to start coding

Use geopandas to synthesize your geospatial analysis skills by working through a mini-project that involves gridding, aggregating, and visualizing spatial data. You will use a GeoDataFrame of point data with a geometry column of Points.

  • In the create_grid function, generate a uniform grid of square polygons covering all points, and spatially join each point to its grid cell using geopandas.
  • In the aggregate_in_grid function, count the number of points in each grid cell using geospatial groupings.
  • In the plot_grid function, create a plot showing the grid cells, colored by the aggregated counts, using geopandas and matplotlib.

Note: This task requires the following Python packages to be installed: geopandas, shapely, matplotlib, and numpy. Please ensure these libraries are available in your environment before running or testing the code.

If you get an ImportError, install the packages using pip:

  • pip install geopandas shapely matplotlib numpy
