‘Euclimatch': an R package for climate matching with Euclidean distance metrics https://nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecog.07614 #Rstats #free #software #ClimateChange

The {grafify} #RStats 📦 aims to make it easier for R users to: * "plot great-looking graphs with few lines of code while exploring data" * "apply colour blind-friendly palettes to graphs plotted with grafify or ggplot2" & more. By @avishenoy.bsky.social grafify.shenoylab.com #DataViz

It's not quite ready for release yet, but side-by-side synced maps are coming soon to an upcoming release of the {mapgl} #rstats package. You'll be able to create maps like this in just a couple lines of R code...

Honestly not sure how I ever survived without the {targets} #rstats package. Trying to do this with just plain old R scripts would be completely bonkers 😵‍💫

🚨 BREAKING: OMB has just issued a memo *rescinding* the previous memo freezing all federal financial assistance programs. Full text, per government source:

Finally, a shout-out to @drxeo.eu, whose climate circles inspired me (see dominicroye.github.io/en/2021/clim...) and to the maintainers of the fitbitr-package (github.com/mrkaye97/fit...), that makes loading Fitbit data into R super easy.

For years, I've wanted to create an #rstats package bringing the power of Mapbox to R users. After a few failed attempts, I finally got {mapgl} over the finish line in 2024 (with some help from #GenAI). Get started with an interactive globe in one line of R code, and build from there!

🌿 Resource for Emerging Conservationists and Environmental Professionals 🌿 I'm excited to share a curated list of online conservation and environmental management training courses and certificate programs! 🌍 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Did you know that you can get trained in IUCN Red List assessment for free online? I have my undergrads do this as a semester-long assignment to understand policy-relevant science. You can do it too! 🧪🦑🌎 www.conservationtraining.org/course/index...

Candidate for most impactful use of local LLMs in an R environment. The lang #Rstats package overrides the `?` help function in R, translating help pages into your system's language, ie from Sys.getenv("LANG"). Also translates your roxygen docs. https://github.com/mlverse/lang 🌎🌍🌏

As if humans were not part of the natural world? Have we forgotten that we are just one species among many? 🤔 The fate of biodiversity is now so tied up with humanity that it feels more like biodiversity is among us than we are among biodiversity. 🙃
