R package marmap for spatial data analysis and plotting
by Eric Pante 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

<apologies for cross-posting> Dear listers, We are happy to announce the release of marmap0.6, a free and open-source R package for importing, plotting and analyzing bathymetric and topographic data. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0073051 http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/marmap/index.html One of the primary goal of the package is to allow the production of publication-ready sampling maps for ecologists, through easing automatic retrieval of xyz data from the NOAA. Functions to query data (bathymetry, sampling information…) are available interactively by clicking on marmap maps. Bathymetric and topographic data can also be used to calculate projected surface areas within specified depth/altitude intervals, and constrain the calculation of realistic shortest path distances. Such information can be used in molecular ecology, for example, to evaluate genetic isolation by distance in a spatially-explicit framework. We are still working on adding functions to marmap, for example to automatically space pie charts on maps, plot EEZ, 12 nm limits, or ICES regions, and we welcome ideas on how to improve marmap (bugs, new functions, etc)! Best regards, Eric Pante and Benoit Simon-Bouhet

Hi, All The bad news is there are 152 references this time. The good is the computer put out 249 recommendations for this posting. I have GOT to get back to once a month. I figure if I post this many, it has to be easier next time around. Yeah right! I will have to stop posting climate change warning papers, only because they will have already taken affect by the time its been taking me to get a posting ready. Well, that was my one token attempt at humor for this message. Let's get down to business. I hope there isn't a word limit on Marmam messages. Thanks to the editors for letting this one through. Here's the latest posting of new PDF's that are available. File sizes have been included. Abstracts also available on request. Please let me know of any mistakes. Make all requests to: janiger(a)cox.net For those downloading from the FTP server, it will probably be tomorrow before they are all ready for uploading. Cheers!
