Beginner Level (1-10)

1. Install and Import: Install GeoPandas (pip install geopandas) and import it.
2. Load a Shapefile: Read a shapefile (e.g., a country boundaries dataset) using
gpd.read_file().
3. Create a GeoDataFrame: Convert a DataFrame with latitude and longitude columns
into a GeoDataFrame.
4. Set CRS: Assign a coordinate reference system (CRS) to a GeoDataFrame.
5. Convert CRS: Reproject a GeoDataFrame to a different CRS (e.g., EPSG:4326 to
EPSG:3857).
6. Plot a GeoDataFrame: Use .plot() to visualize geometries in a GeoDataFrame.
7. Filter Data: Select features based on an attribute (e.g., select countries with a
population > 50 million).
8. Extract Centroids: Compute centroids of polygons using .centroid.
9. Save a GeoDataFrame: Export a GeoDataFrame to a shapefile or GeoJSON format.
10. Access Geometry: Extract the geometry column of a GeoDataFrame and print the

geometries.
23. Find Nearest Feature: Find the nearest point/polygon to a given geometry.

points.

31. Compute Convex Hull: Get the convex hull of a set of geometries.
32. Create Thiessen Polygons: Generate Voronoi/Thiessen polygons from a point
dataset.

40. Write a Custom Geometric Function: Implement a function to modify geometries
(e.g., rotate polygons).
41. Perform Spatial Autocorrelation: Calculate Moran's I for spatial clustering analysis.
42. Use MapClassify for Choropleths: Classify data into bins and visualize it using
choropleth maps.

to extract country boundaries.
44. Hexbin Spatial Analysis: Aggregate data into hexagonal bins for density
visualization.
45. Network Analysis with Geopandas and NetworkX: Build a graph from a road
network dataset and perform shortest path analysis.
46. Find Self-Intersecting Geometries: Detect and fix self-intersecting polygons.
