Oyster drills are infamous
I was recently out in San Francisco Bay finishing up our citizen-science based oyster drill eradication project. We were fortunate to have the SF Chronicle feature an article about our […]
Oceanography data with ‘OCE’ in R
Oceanographers love two things. 1. Expensive equipment and 2. Matlab. I get the first one. I mean, who wouldn’t want to play with titantium 4km pressure rated CTDs or autonomous […]
Our paper was subject of a news cartoon. Life is now complete.
Our recent atmospheric river paper was the subject of a cartoon and accompanying article in the Marin Independent. Life is now complete! That is all. Please carry on.
Modeling completely separated data in R
Complete separation occurs when data is perfectly discriminated by a predictor. Let me illustrate (literally, haha). You’ll notice that the y-axis is binary, there are only 0s and 1s. That’s […]
Logistic Regression in R
My dog pants a lot. Don’t judge him. He’s brachycephalic (shorter skull/muzzle than other dogs), so he has issues thermoregulating. But he doesn’t always pant. Let me illustrate. Panting! Not […]
Spatial data using ‘raster’ in R
There’s a lot of freely available data out there. Much of this data is spatial and derived from remote sensing platforms (e.g. satellites). Here’s a quick primer on using the […]
Stacked time series in R
Stacked time series plots are cool. Vastly superior to double y-axis plots which are a big no no according to graph theory. Exhibit A and Exhibit B. If Hadley Wickham […]
Coastal oysters?
Lately, I’ve been doing meta-analysis for my postdoc, working with NO live animals, so I’m excited to see living animals from the ocean. When I’m not in Maryland, I’m in […]
converting wide to long format in R
I’ve heard California is parched. Though, I wouldn’t know. I’m in Maryland now and we’re staring at Hurricane Joaquin who was threatening to wash the east coast into the Atlantic […]
Accepted!
Our trophic cascade paper was accepted at Ecosphere. Rock crabs (see picture) consume invasive oyster drills which indirectly benefits native oysters. I’ll write more about it soon, but these victories […]
