PyViz for Mapping Global Shipping
2019-06-26, 14:00–14:15, Room 2

Learn about the powerful geospatial and big data visualisation capabilities of python in the context of global shipping data.


There are many great python visualisation libraries. The PyViz initiative has made great progress in making them easier to learn and use. This talk will provide an overview of some of this stack, including the geospatial aspects and big data use cases. I will demonstrate how I use these tools for exploring global ship tracking data (AIS - Automatic Identification System).

Libraries include:

  • hvplot
  • Datashader
  • HoloViews
  • GeoViews
