Spatial R: Migrating from Raster to Terra

Presenter: Elise Hellwig

Date: 2024-05-31

Description

The first generation of r spatial packages (raster, sp, rgdal, rgeos) have gone the way of the dodo, and the second-generation packages (terra, sf, and stars) are here to stay. If you haven’t made the transition from raster to terra, now is the time. And the good news is, it’s probably easier than you think. This workshop compares the two packages, provides direct function and syntax translations, and links to many resources to answer any further questions you might have.
