Excerpt from site: The sf (Simple Features) package in R (https://r-spatial.github.io/sf/) represents vector geodata as data frames with the geometry held in a single list-column. As such, it allows you to process geodata in pipelines that consistent with the syntax of dplyr and other tidyverse packages. This session will provide an introduction to the Simple Features in R package, show how to draw maps from sf objects with ggplot2, and how to run spatial queries on geodata much as you would in PostGIS.
