[Canberra-PUG] August Meeting - Jonah Sullivan, Using python to automate geoprocessing

[Gavin Jackson]

 Hi all, next CPUG meeting has been confirmed!

Thu, 7 August, 18:00
John Dedman G35 (the Neumann room) at ANU

*Title:*
Using python to automate geoprocessing

*Abstract:*
There are a few open-source geoprocessing libraries (GDAL, GRASS, QGIS)
most government agencies use ArcGIS, which supports Python 2.7 (with no
plans to move to version 3). Nearly all of the capabilities of ArcGIS can
be invoked through scripting, and even some capabilities that are not
available through the GUI (multiprocessing).  I'll be talking about what
works and what doesn't work when automating workflows using python
scripting.

*Speaker Bio:*
Jonah Sullivan
Geospatial Analyst at Geoscience Australia.
Specialising in LiDAR and point cloud data.
Python user for less than 5 years.
