I am a long-term ecologist working at the intersection of evidence-based approaches, long-term biodiversity responses to environmental change, and functional programming.
Tools and Libraries
Bristlecone is an F# library for model-fitting model-selection (MFMS) of ecological models to observational data. The library was developed for tree ring analysis, but can be used for other time-series modelling problems.
Ecoset is a simple and flexible typescript app to serve geo-temporal datasets using tools such as GDAL.
Thalloo (pronounced tol-oo) is a template for geographical mapping and data exploration of systematic maps and systematic reviews. As a Jekyll template, the starter template may be used to make a github pages static site for exploring evidence maps.
The Global Pollen Project is a web app for paleoecology. It aids the digitisation of pollen reference material and crowdsourced identification of unidentified pollen grains.
The Local Ecological Footprint Tool (LEFT) is a web-based decision support tool which can help businesses minimise the environmental impacts of their activities when they make decisions about how land is used.
When an array of Lats and Lons are entered into the spatial fields of the data sheet, the map should be able to display these as a selectable polygon. This would, however, make issues with clustering view: perhaps a central point could be calculated.
Fields, such as abstracts, may be very long, and can take up the whole viewport. We should make these fields truncate if they are, say, longer than 200 characters.
