If you work on Antarctic or Southern Ocean ecology, consider submitting to the Ecological Society of Australia symposium: From #Antarctica and #SouthernOcean to Australia: Current Ecological Research and Conservation Challenges W. P. Amy Liu David Clarke 🐧 esa2024.org.au/symposia/

🧨 Shapefile must… be replaced (at least in the spData package).🧨 Recently, we replaced the example datasets in the Shapefile format with the GeoPackage format in the spData package. Learn more about it at buff.ly/3Vpqkql. #rstats #rspatial #geocompx

Great news - Registrations and Abstract submissions are now OPEN! leishman.eventsair.com/aarc

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI! This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors. Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:

Historical photos from the 1960s have extended the record of what glaciers looked like decades before the Larsen-B ice shelf collapsed. @ryan__north Prof Tim Barrows 🧵⬇️ youtu.be/O_adRUQJjJc?fe…

⚡️The Larsen-B ice shelf collapsed over a week in 2002 The ice shelf was 3250 square km = Greater Sydney and Wollongong. 🌊After it collapsed, it released colossal amounts of ice from land into the ocean, contributing to rising sea levels. 📷 NASA

In this #recentlypublished article, Nance, Clarke, & Cook share their international perspective on the use of #community engagement by #conservation practitioners to support the management of inhabited islands.🏝️ Read more at doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

Day 2 at #BNPNetworking in Singapore: Australia well represented! Talk by Xiaotian Zheng from UOW NIASRA "Model-based inference for spatial biological-dissimilarity indices"

Hey #Naarm / #Melbourne polar ECRs! We will be hosting an in-person (😲) catch-up on the evening of Tuesday 8 October, in collab with Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future . Details coming soon. Who's in?

A refresh to data from Observation.org has pushed the #GBIF index past #3billion records! With <100 million records, this 🇳🇱-based NGO is also a formal #GBIF Participant, whose massive #CitizenScience contribution often goes overlooked—hartelijk gefeliciteerd! gbif.org

Had a great few days visiting UOW and working with xiaotian on advancing the next stage of our Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future collaboration.

The Atlas of Living Australia's galah R package has been updated to allow image downloads from global atlases! 🌎 Explore some new & local species and list them directly into your downloaded dataset! 📊 🧑🏽‍💻 | spr.ly/6016aE49w 💾 | spr.ly/6010aE49e

📖Published📖 In their research article, Zheng et al. provide a general framework for spatial modelling of biodiversity that involves downscaling environmental covariates. Read more here 👇 buff.ly/2vbvTso
