‘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

Sample of 24 different types of graphs that can be made with the grafify R package, including "Dots, bar & SD", "Dots & gox", "Bar & SD", "Dots & violin". Also shows grafify hex logo.

Color samples for 17 different color-blind-safe palettes

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"

Any ETA on the release?

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...

A huge dependency diagram with hundreds of nodes and edges generated by the targets R package

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 😵‍💫

Climate circles | Dr. Dominic Royé The climate of a place is usually presented through climographs that combine monthly precipitation and temperature in a single chart. However, it is also interesting to visualize the climate on a dail...

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!

Like ‘old Twitter’: The scientific community finds a new home on Bluesky After recent changes to Elon Musk’s X, a gradual migration turns into a stampede

In this article recently published in "Science" it says, while X (formerly Twitter) is turning into a ghost town, Bluesky is becoming a hub for the scientific community.
And, we’d like to add, for science communication!🧪
