Data & Code

Here is a collection of code and tutorials for spatial analyses in freshwater ecosystems, and we will be gradually adding more:

• Check out our R-package hydrographr
• The GeoFRESH portal supports the freshwater geospatial data processing
• The Hydrography90m network
• Create freshwater-specific environmental variables
• How to move point records to a stream network and extract the values
• A quick guide of using open-source GIS tools using the Linux command-line
• Bayesian hierarchical species distribution models

If you have any questions or noticed any bugs in the code please drop us a line.
