<h3>R-Lab #2 – April 11th, Milano</h3>
<h4>Shiny &amp; Maps: a geo representation of earthquakes evolution with R</h4>
<p><em>[The map above, that represents the earthquakes of magnitude>5 in the last 3 years, is done following <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.exegetic.biz/blog/2014/04/earthquake-magnitude-depth-chart/">this great post of Andrew Collier</a>. The nice colors were easy to choose thanks to the amazing <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://deanattali.com/blog/plot-colour-helper/">colourpicker addin</a>] </em></p>
<p>Hi everybody! We are ready to announce our second R-Lab! <span>Either if you are an R expert, a beginner, or you just curious, you are welcome to join us! <strong>The event will be on April 11th, in Mikamai, Milano, </strong>and you can register from here: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.meetup.com/R-Lab-Milano/events/238824405/">https://www.meetup.com/R-Lab-Milano/events/238824405/</a></span></p>
<p>This time the R topic is very intriguing: <b>Shiny and maps</b>! As several of you would know, Shiny is the R specific framework for interactive visualization, while packages as ggmap and Leaflet provide several functions for georeferencing and mapping data.</p>
<p>These tools will be very useful for handling the task proposed by our first presenter: EarthCloud, an organisation aimed at building a close link between information technologies and earth sciences related to risk prevention. With their help we will work on a very hot-topic: <b>map the earthquakes that happened over a specific fault, to study the fault evolution over time</b> and provide qualitative and quantitative insights about it. As always, working in team, hands on R code!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Agenda</b></p>
<p>18:45 : Meeting at Mikamai</p>
<p>19:00 : Intro: Earthquakes data and fault evolution + R tools for mapping and Shiny</p>
<p>19:30 : Get a pizza (for those who want it)</p>
<p>19:45 : Coding together while eating the pizza.</p>
<p>The goal is: build a shiny app to map the fault evolution over time, enriching as much as possible the app with qualitative and quantitative insight about the earthquakes</p>
<p>22:30 : Greetings and see you soon!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>A bit more about the proposer – EarthCloud</b></p>
<p>EarthCloud is an association that aims at creating a strong link between new information technologies (distributed systems, Cloud, serverless, etc.) and earth sciences related to risk prevention (seismic, geological and environmental), in order to increase population protection.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Who is this event for</b></p>
<p>Either you are an R expert, a basic user or just curious, you are welcome! The R-Lab is a space for learning and sharing knowledge, working together on a challenging goal. If you are a geologist or a an expert of earth science, you are welcome as well! We appreciate your contribution about the meaning of what we are doing <img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.milanor.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png?w=456" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>What to bring</b></p>
<p>Be sure to bring your own computer, possibly with the latest version of RStudio.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Where to go</b></p>
<p>We will be hosted by Mikamai and LinkMe in their location, in Via Giulio e Corrado Venini, 42 (very close to the Pasteur metro station). The doorbell is Mikamai: when you enter, go straight, cross the inner courtyard of the building, you face a metal door with a sheet with Mikamai written. The office is the last (and only) floor.</p>
<p> </p>

<p><i>Looking forward to seeing you there!!!</i></p>

<h2>If you still don’t know the R-Lab project…</h2>
<h3>What is an R-Lab?</h3>
<p>The R-Labs are evening kind of mini-hackathons where we work together with R on a real problem.</p>
<p><span>In short, this is what we do:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>A company/institution/university proposes a real problem, and teaches something about that issue</span></li>
<li><span>We work together on the solution, possibly having fun</span></li>
<li><span>Everything we do is released <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/r-lab-milano">on Github, exactly here</a></span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h3>Where can I join the group?</h3>
<p><span>You can join the group on the Meetup platform here: </span></p>
