Problems
Real geospatial problems, graded automatically. Choose a track, a level and what you want to hand in.

The checks a data manager runs on delivered rasters before anyone analyses them: extent, nodata, value range, and whether the figures are plausible for the place.
You hand in your answers as values.
Datasets
- Greater London elevation (Copernicus DEM GLO-30) · Raster · EPSG:4326
- Greater London land cover 2021 (ESA WorldCover 10 m) · Raster · EPSG:4326
- Greater London, Sentinel-2 red and NIR, 11 July 2025 · Raster · EPSG:32630
What you’ll do
- Read raster metadata and full-resolution statistics
- Distinguish nodata from valid extremes
- Record facts a later dispute can start from

A reference gazetteer carries a latitude and a longitude column beside its geometry. Audit how far apart they are, and what else does not add up.
You hand in your answers as values.
Dataset
- Populated places · Point · 1,251 features · EPSG:4326
What you’ll do
- Compare each feature's geometry to the coordinate attributes it carries
- Count the disagreements at two thresholds and identify the worst
- Find keys the downstream spreadsheet cannot distinguish

Audit two-date indicator coverage and map the places excluded before showing a climate trend.
You hand in a Python script.
Datasets
- Countries · MultiPolygon · 241 features · EPSG:4326
- CO2 per capita by country, 2010 and 2022 · Point · 241 features · EPSG:4326
What you’ll do
- Audit missingness before a two-date map is interpreted
- Prevent a many-to-many join on nonstandard ISO codes
- Show complete and incomplete coverage on real country polygons

Find probable duplicates in a facility registry by combining a name match with a distance rule — and separate them from the honest homonyms.
You hand in your answers as values.
Dataset
- Ports · Point · 1,081 features · EPSG:4326
What you’ll do
- Find repeated identifiers in a registry
- Combine an attribute match with a spatial rule to separate duplicates from homonyms
- Size the missing attribute that would resolve the rest
