interactive session

http://pad.software-carpentry.org/DaSH-R

• overview of graphics in R The R Graphics Landscape

• graphics tips and tricks

http://rpubs.com/cyclemumner/aad-mapping-tips

• group session about problems, identify some examples to explore

Questions

These are all open questions! We can use this to collect resources, all work in progress.

• How to get data on oceanographic features and make nice maps?

#3

• How to add ice edge to maps?

#1

Illustrations

Exactly what we do will depend on the group session.

• get some data sets together and make a few figures, discussing problems and solutions
• work through software carpentry, and adapt with discussions: http://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder/08-plot-ggplot2/
• work trhough Data Carpentry: http://www.datacarpentry.org/lessons/#geospatial-data-workshop

Broad topics to touch on

Reading in data

Shapefiles

raster::shapefile("myfile.shp")

Rasters, grids, images.

raster::raster("myraster.tif")

raster::brick("myRGB.tif")

raster::brick("myMegaSplat.nc", varname = "Mega")

raster::stack(c("mydata1.nc", "mydata2.nc", "mydata3.nc"))

Packages with data.

maptools, rworldmap, maps, orsifronts,

Here I list packages we should also look at so we know what they have.

• oce
• marmap
• oceanmap
• OceanView
• orsifronts
• ocedata
• RmarineHeatWaves
• elevatr
• mregions
